History

    On August 25, 1993, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E 
airspace at Adel, Georgia, to accommodate a VOR/DME-A instrument 
approach procedure to the Cook County Airport, Adel, Georgia (58 FR 
47411). 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 and 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 Reclassification, 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 coordinates 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 Adel, Georgia, to accommodate a VOR/
DME-A SIAP based on the Moultrie VOR to the Cook County 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 Cook County 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.
