DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 93-ASO-11]
Designation of Class E Airspace, Dunnellon, FL
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Dunnellon,
Florida. A Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) for Runway 23
at the Dunnellon Airport has been developed and controlled airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface of the earth is needed
to contain instrument flight rules (IFR) operations when using this
SIAP.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 u.t.c., March 3, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Armando Castro, Airspace Section,
System Management Branch, Air Traffic Division, Federal Aviation
Administration, P.O. Box 20636, Atlanta, Georgia 30320; telephone (404)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On June 23, 1993, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace at
Dunnellon, Florida, to accommodate a Runway 23 instrument approach
procedure to the Dunnellon Airport, Dunnellon, Florida (58 FR 41211).
The proposal was to add controlled airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface to contain IFR operations in controlled airspace
during portions of the terminal operation, while transiting between the
en route and terminal environments, and to change the operating status
of the airport from visual flight rules (VFR) operations to include IFR
operations concurrent with publication of the SIAP. Interested parties
were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting
written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments objecting to
the proposal were received.
Airspace Reclassificaiton, in effect as of September 16, 1993, has
discontinued the use of the term ``transition area'' and has replaced
it with the designation ``Class E airspace'' for airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface. The coorindates for this
airspace docket are based on North American Datum 83. Designation for
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the
surface of the earth are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9A dated June 17, 1993, and effective September 16, 1993, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 (58 FR 36298, July 6, 1993).
The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
establishes Class E airspace at Dunnellon, Florida, to accommodate a
Runway 23 SIAP based on the Ocala Very High Frequency Omnidirectional
Range/Tactical Air Navigation facility (VORTAC) to the Dunnellon
Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface is needed to contain aircraft executing the approach.
Aeronautical maps and charts will reflect the defined area which
will enable pilots to circumnavigate the area in order to comply with
applicable VFR requirements.
In addition, the operating status of the Dunnellon Airport is
changed from VFR operations to include IFR operations concurrent with
the publication of the SIAP.
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.
