Modification of Class E Airspace, St.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies the St.

George, UT, Class E airspace to

accommodate airspace required for the

establishment of a new Standard

Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP)

to the St. George Municipal Airport, St.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On September 21, 2000, the FAA

proposed to amend Title 14 Code of

Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR

part 71) by modifying Class E airspace

at St. George, UT, in order to

accommodate a new Area Navigation

(RNAV) SIAP to Runway 34 at St.

George Municipal Airport, St. George,

UT (65 FR 184). This amendment

provides additional Class E5 airspace at

St. George, UT, to meet current criteria

standards associated with the SIAP.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in the rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal. No

comments were received.

The Rule

This amendment to Title 14 Code of

Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR

part 71) modifies Class E airspace at St.

George, UT, in order to accommodate a

new SIAP to the St. George Municipal

Airport, St. George, UT. This

amendment modifies Class E5 airspace

at St. George, UT, to meet current

criteria standards associated with the

SIAP. The FAA establishes Class E

airspace where necessary to contain

aircraft transitioning between the

terminal and enroute environments.

This rule is designed to provide for the

safe and efficient use of the navigable

airspace and to promote safe flight

operations under Instrument Flight

Rules (IFR) at the St. George Municipal

Airport and between the terminal and

enroute transition stages.

The area will be depicted on

aeronautical charts for pilot reference.

The coordinates for this airspace docket

are based on North American Datum 83.

Class E airspace areas extending upward

from 700 feet or more above the surface

of the earth, are published in Paragraph

6005, of FAA Order 7400.9H dated

September 1, 2000, and effective

September 16, 2000, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class E airspace designation

listed in this document will be

published subsequently in the Order.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation only involves an established

body of technical regulations for which

frequent and routine amendments are

necessary to keep them operationally

current. It, therefore, (1) is not a

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a

‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3)

does not warrant preparation of a

Regulatory Evaluation as the anticipated

impact is so minimal. Since this is a

routine matter that will only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this rule, will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

[Airspace Docket No. 01–ASO–1]

Establishment of Class E2 Airspace;

Tri-City, TN

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class

E2 airspace at Tri-City, for the Tri-City

Regional Airport. The Tri-City Airport

Traffic Control Tower is a part time

facility. When the control tower is

closed, Atlanta Air Route Traffic Control

Center (ARTCC) provides approach

control service. This requires

establishment of Class E2 surface area

airspace.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 13, 2001.

Airspace Branch, Air Traffic Division,

Box 20636, Atlanta, Georgia 30320;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

The Tri-City Regional Airport lies

within Class D airspace. The Tri-City

Airport Traffic Control Tower hours of

operation have changed and it is now a

part time facility. When the control

tower closes, Atlanta ARTCC provides

approach control service for the Tri-City

Regional Airport. Since the Atlanta

ARTCC provides approach control

service and the proper classification of

airspace to accommodate aircraft

conducting standard instrument

approach procedures is not available,

flight safety interests may be affected.

Accordingly, immediate corrective

action is taken herein, in the interest of

flight safety, to establish Class E2

airspace in the vicinity of Tri-City

Regional Airport. Therefore, I find that

notice and public procedure under 5

U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and

contrary to the public interest.

Designations for Class E are published

in FAA Order 7400.9H, dated

September 1, 2000, and effective

September 16, 2000, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

part 71.1. The Class E designations

listed in this document will be

published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) establishes Class E2 airspace at

Tri-City, TN.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation only involves an established

body of technical regulations for which

frequent and routine amendments are

necessary to keep them operationally

current. It, therefore, (1) is not a

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a

‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3)

does not warrant preparation of a

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated

impact is so minimal. Since this is a

routine matter that will only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this rule will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.
