Establishment of Class E Airspace; Aspen, CO, 39916-39917 [05-13644]

Download as PDF 39916 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 132 / Tuesday, July 12, 2005 / Rules and Regulations notice of proposed rule making to establish Class E airspace at Mariposa, CA (69 FR 68104). New RNAV GPS SIAPs at Mariposa-Yosemite Airport, Mariposa, CA, makes it necessary to increase the controlled airspace. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 FAA Order 7400.9M dated August 30, 2004, and effective September 16, 2004, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in that order. The Rule This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 establishes Class E airspace at MariposaYosemite Airport, Mariposa, CA. New RNAV GPS SIAPs at Mariposa-Yosemite Airport make it necessary to establish the Class E Airspace. This controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface is necessary for the containment and safety of IFR aircraft transitioning to/ from the en route environment and executing these RNAV GPS SIAP procedures. The amendment also corrects an error in the airport latitude and longitude 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, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUMMARY: This final rule will establish Class E airspace at Aspen, CO. 
A reduction in operating hours of Class D airspace service at Aspen-
Pitkin County/Sardy Field makes this action necessary. This Class E 
airspace extending upward from the surface of the earth will provide a

Flight Rules (IFR) operations outside the hours of Class D airspace 
service.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On March 19, 2004, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 Code of 
Federal Regulations part 71 (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E 
airspace at Aspen, CO, (69 FR 12993). The proposed action would provide 
Class E airspace during the hours Class D airspace service is not 
available at Aspen-Pitkin County/Sardy Field Aspen, CO. This Class E 
airspace extending upward from the surface of the earth will provide a 
controlled environment for the safety of aircraft executing IFR 
operations outside the hours of Class D airspace service.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rule making 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments were received. Class E airspace designations are published 
in paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9M dated August 30, 2004, and 
effective September 16, 2004, which is incorporated by reference in 14 
CFR part 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this 
document will be published subsequently in that order.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 establishes Class E airspace at 
Aspen, CO, by providing additional controlled airspace for aircraft 
executing IFR procedures at Aspen-Pitkin County/Sardy Field during the 
hours Class D airspace service is not available. This Class E airspace 
extending upward from the surface of the earth will provide a 
controlled environment for the safety of aircraft executing IFR 
operations outside the hours of Class D airspace service.
    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, when

[[Page 39917]]

promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
