Establishment of Class E Airspace; Morris, IL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace near Morris, IL, to 
accommodate an amended Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range 
Station-Airport (VOR-A) instrument approach procedure to Morris 
Municipal-James R. Washburn Field Airport, Morris, IL. Controlled 
airspace extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet above ground level 
(AGL) is needed for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations during 
portions of the terminal operation and while transiting between the 
enroute and terminal environments. The area will be depicted on 
aeronautical charts to enable pilots to circumnavigate the area in 
order to comply with applicable Visual Flight Rules (VFR) requirements.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, June 23, 1994.

Robert J. Woodford, Air Traffic Division, System Management Branch,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On Tuesday, February 8, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of 
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E 
airspace near Morris, IL, (59 FR 5740). 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.
    The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. Class E airspace designations 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 near Morris, IL, to accommodate an amended 
VOR-A instrument approach procedure to Morris Municipal-James R. 
Washburn Field Airport, Morris, IL. Controlled airspace extending 
upward from 700 to 1200 feet AGL is needed for IFR operations during 
portions of the terminal operation and while transiting between the 
enroute and terminal environments. The area will be depicted on 
aeronautical charts to enable pilots to circumnavigate the area in 
order to comply with applicable VFR requirements.
    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.
