SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Although this action is a final rule, which involves the amendment of Class E airspace within Pennsylvania, by consolidating that airspace into one description, and was not preceded by notice and public procedure comments are invited on the rule. This rule will become effective on the date specified in the DATES section. However, after the review of any comments, if the FAA finds that further changes are appropriate, it will initiate rulemaking proceedings to extend the effective date or to amend the regulation. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in evaluating the effects of the rule, and in determining whether additional rulemaking is required. Comments are specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic, environmental, and energyrelated aspects of the rule which might suggest the need to modify the rule. inconsequential impact on aircraft operations in the area, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. Class E airspace designations for airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9M, dated August 30, 2004, and effective September 16, 2004, 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. Therefore, this regulation: (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. The Rule Adoption of the Amendment This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) amends the description of Class E airspace in the Harrisburg, PA area by removing the airspace designations for Millard Airport, Annville, PA; Carlisle Airport, Carlisle, PA; Muir AAF, Fort Indiantown Gap, PA; Lancaster Airport, Lancaster, PA; Donegal Springs Airpark, Marietta, PA; Decks Airport, Myerstown, PA; Keller Brothers Airport, Lebanon, PA; York Airport, York, PA. It consolidates those airspace areas into the amended Harrisburg, PA description. The proliferation of airports with Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations within the Harrisburg, PA metropolitan area has resulted in the overlap of numerous Class E airspace areas that complicate the chart depictions. This action clarifies the airspace and diminishes the scope and complexity of charting. The IFR airports within those areas will be incorporated into the Harrisburg, PA Class E airspace area. Accordingly, since this action merely consolidates these airspace areas into one airspace designation and has VerDate jul<14>2003 16:26 Apr 08, 2005 Jkt 205001 List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 Airspace, Incorporated by reference, Navigation (air).

ACTION: Direct final rule; request for comments. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This action amends title 14 code of Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR 71) by revising Class E airspace at Washington, KS. A review of the Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet above ground level (AGL) at Washington, KS revealed it is not in compliance with established airspace criteria. This airspace area is enlarged and its extension modified to conform to FAA Orders. The intended effect of this rule is to provide controlled airspace of appropriate dimensions to protect aircraft departing from and executing Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) to Washington County Memorial Airport. The area is modified and enlarged to conform to the criteria in FAA Orders. DATES: This direct final rule is effective on 0901 UTC, July 7, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to 14 CFR 71 modifies the Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Washington, KS. An examination of controlled airspace for Washington, KS revealed the Class E airspace area is not in compliance with established airspace requirements. In order to comply with airspace requirements for diverse departures, as set forth in FAA Order 7400.2E, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters, the airspace area is expanded from a 6-mile to a 7.3-mile radius of Washington County Memorial Airport. To comply with FAA Order 8260.19C, Flight Procedures and Airspace, the airspace extension is decreased in width from 4.8 to 2 miles each side of the 021° bearing from the Morrison nondirectional radio beacon (NDB) and in length from 11.7 to 7 miles north of the NDB. These modifications provide controlled airspace of appropriate dimensions to protect aircraft departing from and executing SIAPs to Washington County Memorial Airport and bring the legal description of the Washington, KS Class E airspace area into compliance with FAA Orders 7400.2E and 8260.19C. This area will be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts. 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 7400.9M, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 30, 2004, and effective September 16, 2004, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Harrisburg, PA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration [FAA] DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace at Harrisburg, PA. The 
development of multiple area navigation (RNAV) Standard Instrument 
Approach Procedures (SIAP) for numerous airports within the Harrisburg, 
PA metropolitan area with approved Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) 
operations and the resulting overlap of designated Class E-5 airspace 
have made this action necessary. This action consolidates the Class E-5 
airspace designations for nine airports and results in the rescission 
of seven Class E-5 descriptions through separate rulemaking action. The 
area will be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On February 8, 2005, a notice proposing to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by consolidating existing 
Class E-5 airspace designations in the Harrisburg, PA metropolitan area 
and incorporating those areas into the Harrisburg, PA description was 
published in the Federal Register (70 FR 6601-6602). Interested parties 
were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting

comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments to the proposal were 
received. The rule is adopted as proposed.
    The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. Class E airspace area designations for airspace 
extending upward from the surface are published in paragraph 6005 of 
FAA Order 7400.9M, dated August 30, 2004 and effective September 16, 
2004, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 
airspace designation listed in this document will be amended in the 
order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR 71) provides controlled Class E airspace extending upward from 700 
ft above the surface for aircraft conducting IFR operations within the 
Harrisburg, PA Class E-5 airspace description.
    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. 
Therefore, this regulation: (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 significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
