DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 93-ACE-04]

 

Establishment of Class E Airspace; Ankeny, IA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at the Ankeny 
Regional Airport, Ankeny, Iowa. The development of a new standard 
instrument approach procedure (SIAP) at the Ankeny Regional Airport, 
Ankeny, Iowa, utilizing a new non-directional beacon (NDB) on the 
airport as a navigational aid has made this action necessary. 
Controlled airspace extending from 700 to 1200 feet above ground level 
(AGL) is needed for aircraft executing the approach. The area will be 
depicted on aeronautical charts to provide a reference for pilots 
operating in the area.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 18, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On January 7, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E 
airspace at the Ankeny Regional Airport, Ankeny, Iowa (59 FR 4609).
    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 rule is the 
same as that proposed in the notice. Class E airspace designations for 
airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above ground 
level 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 (14 
CFR part 71) establishes Class E airspace at Ankeny, Iowa, extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface excluding that portion within 
the Des Moines, Iowa, Class C and E airspace.
    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 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).
