DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration 14 CFR Part 71 [Docket No. FAA–2008–1099; Airspace Docket No. 08–AWP–10] Modification of Class E Airspace; Lake Havasu, AZ Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: This action will modify Class E airspace at Lake Havasu, AZ. Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft using a new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) at Lake Havasu City Airport, Lake Havasu, AZ. This will improve the safety of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft executing the new RNAV GPS SIAP at Lake Havasu City Airport, Lake Havasu, AZ. This also makes a minor change in the airport description. It changes the 2.2-mile radius of Chemehuevi Valley Airport to a 2.3-mile radius. DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, December 17, 2009. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments.

Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Subsequent to publication of the NPRM, the FAA found an error in the airport description for the excluded airspace. This action corrects that error. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9S signed October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 2008, 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 action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by amending the Class E airspace at Lake Havasu, AZ. Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate IFR aircraft executing a new RNAV (GPS) approach procedure at Lake Havasu City Airport, Lake Havasu, AZ. This action also corrects the 2.2-mile radius exclusion to 2.3 miles. 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. The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 discusses the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency’s authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it establishes additional controlled airspace at Lake Havasu City Airport, Lake Havasu, AZ.

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2008-1099; Airspace Docket No. 08-AWP-10]


Modification of Class E Airspace; Lake Havasu, AZ

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action will modify Class E airspace at Lake Havasu, AZ. 
Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft 
using a new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) 
Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) at Lake Havasu City 
Airport, Lake Havasu, AZ. This will improve the safety of Instrument 
Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft executing the new RNAV GPS SIAP at Lake 
Havasu City Airport, Lake Havasu, AZ. This also makes a minor change in 
the airport description. It changes the 2.2-mile radius of Chemehuevi 
Valley Airport to a 2.3-mile radius.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, December 17, 2009. The Director of the 
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 
publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eldon Taylor, Federal Aviation 
Administration, Operations Support Group, Western Service Center, 1601

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On June 24, 2009, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to establish additional controlled 
airspace at Lake Havasu, AZ (74 FR 30025). Interested parties were 
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written 
comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. 
Subsequent to publication of the NPRM, the FAA found an error in the 
airport description for the excluded airspace. This action corrects 
that error.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of 
FAA Order 7400.9S signed October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 
2008, 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 action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by amending the Class E airspace at Lake Havasu, AZ. Additional 
controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate IFR aircraft executing 
a new RNAV (GPS) approach procedure at Lake Havasu City Airport, Lake 
Havasu, AZ. This action also corrects the 2.2-mile radius exclusion to 
2.3 miles.
    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. The FAA's authority to 
issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S. 
Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 discusses the authority of the FAA 
Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more 
detail the scope of the agency's authority. This rulemaking is 
promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 
Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with 
prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to 
ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This 
regulation is within the scope of that authority as it establishes 
additional controlled airspace at Lake Havasu City Airport, Lake 
Havasu, AZ.
