[Airspace Docket No. 94-AWP-5]

 

Establishment of Class E Airspace; Ukiah, CA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Ukiah, CA. An 
automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) has been installed at the 
Ukiah Municipal Airport meeting the criterion for a surface area. 
Controlled airspace extending from the surface is needed for Instrument 
Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Ukiah Municipal Airport. The area will 
be depicted on aeronautical charts to provide a reference for pilots 
operating in the area.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 u.t.c., December 8, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On March 15, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace at 
Ukiah, CA. (59 FR 14805). An AWOS has been installed at the Ukiah 
Municipal Airport, Ukiah, CA. The proposal was to modify controlled 
airspace from 700 to 1200 feet AGL and to add controlled airspace 
extending from the surface for IFR operations at Ukiah Municipal 
Airport.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceedings by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No objections were received concerning this proposal.
    The coordinates in the proposal are based on North American Datum 
83. Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraphs 6002 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 this Order.

The Rule

    The amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulation 
establishes and amends Class E airspace at Ukiah, CA. This action 
modifies controlled airspace from 700 to 1200 feet AGL and establishes 
controlled airspace from the surface for IFR operations at the Ukiah 
Municipal Airport at Ukiah, CA.
    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.
