DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 93-ANM-45]

 

Amendment to Class E Airspace; Twin Falls, ID

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class E airspace at Twin Falls, ID. 
Establishment of a new instrument approach procedure requires 
additional controlled airspace for the procedure. Airspace 
reclassification, in effect as of September 16, 1993, has discontinued 
use of the term ``transition area'' replacing it with the designation 
``Class E airspace. The Class E airspace will be depicted on 
aeronautical charts for pilot reference when the new approach 
procedures become effective.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On February 18, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend the Class E 
airspace for the Twin Falls-Sun Valley Regional, Joslin Field Airport, 
ID (59 FR 8148). Interested parties were invited to participate in the 
rulemaking process by submitting such written data, views, or arguments 
as they desired. No comments were received.
    Airspace reclassification, in effect as of September 16, 1993, has 
discontinued use of the term ``transition area,'' and certain airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above ground level is now designated 
Class E airspace. Class E airspace designations for airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet 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 designations listed in this 
document will be published subsequently in the Order. The coordinates 
in this final rule are in North America Datum 83.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
amends Class E airspace at Twin Falls, Idaho. It will provide 
controlled airspace for a new instrument approach procedure at the 
airport. Amendment of the Class E airspace will result in greater 
safety and efficiency at, and in the vicinity of, the airport. 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.
