DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 93-ANM-14]

 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Medford, OR

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends the Medford, Oregon, Class E airspace. This 
action is necessary to accommodate an amended instrument approach 
procedure and missed approach holding pattern at Medford-Jackson County 
Airport, Medford, Oregon. Airspace reclassification, in effect as of 
September 16, 1993, has discontinued the use of the term ``transition 
area,'' replacing it with the designation ``Class E airspace.'' The 
airspace will be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 u.t.c., June 23, 1994.

Administration, Docket No. 93-ANM-14, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On January 12, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending the Medford, 
Oregon, Class E airspace (59 FR 1682). 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.
    This amendment is the same as that proposed in the notice except 
during the comment period an error was discovered in the coordinates of 
the Rogue Valley VORTAC and the Klamath Falls VORTAC. The errors are 
corrected in this document. Class E airspace designations are published 
in Paragraphs 6004 and 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 
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
amends the Class E airspace at Lakeview, Oregon, to accommodate an 
amended instrument approach procedure at the Medford-Jackson County 
Airport, Medford, Oregon.
    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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
