DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 93-ACE-06]

 

Proposed Establishment of Class E Airspace; Sullivan, MO, 
Sullivan Regional Airport

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: This proposed rule would establish Class E airspace at 
Sullivan, Missouri, extending from 700 feet above ground level (AGL) to 
1200 feet AGL. The development of a new standard instrument approach 
procedure (SIAP) at Sullivan Regional Airport, Sullivan, Missouri, 
utilizing a new nondirectional beacon (NBD) on the airport as a 
navigational aid, has made the proposal necessary. The intended effect 
of this proposal is to provide controlled airspace for aircraft 
executing the SIAP at Sullivan, Missouri.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 7, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the proposal in triplicate to: Manager, 
System Management Branch, ACE-530, Federal Aviation Administration, 
Docket No. 93-ACE-06, 601 East 12th Street, Kansas City, Missouri 
64106.
    The official docket may be examined in the Office of the Assistant 
Chief Counsel for the Central Regional Office at the address shown 
above, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal 
holidays.
    An informal docket may also be examined during normal business 
hours in the Office of the Manager, System Management Branch, Air 
Traffic Division, at the address shown above.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace at 
Sullivan, Missouri, extending from 700 feet AGL to 1200 feet AGL. The 
development of a SIAP based on a New NDB located on the Sullivan 
Regional Airport, Sullivan, Missouri, made this proposal necessary. The 
intended effect of this proposal is to provide adequate Class E 
airspace for aircraft executing the NBD SIAP at Sullivan Regional 
Airport. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. Class E airspace areas extending from 700 feet or 
more above the surface of the earth, when designated in conjunction 
with an airport, 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 would be 
published subsequently in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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 rule'' 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.
