Modification of Class E Airspace; Arcata Municipal Airport, 
Arcata, CA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace at Arcata, CA. An 
Instrument Landing System/Distance Measuring Equipment (ILS/DME) 
standard instrument approach procedure (SIAP) has been developed for 
the Arcata Municipal Airport. Controlled airspace extending from 700 
feet above the surface is needed for aircraft executing the approach. 
The effect of this proposal is to provide adequate Class E airspace for 
instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at Arcata Municipal Airport.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 15, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace at 
Arcata, CA. (59 FR 23034). An Instrument Landing System/Distance 
Measuring Equipment (ILS/DME) standard instrument approach procedure 
(SIAP) has been developed for the Arcata Municipal Airport. Controlled 
airspace extending from 700 feet above the surface is needed for 
aircraft executing the approach.
    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 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 this Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
establishes Class E airspace at Arcata, CA, to modify controlled 
airspace from 700 to 1200 feet AGL at the Arcata Municipal Airport at 
Arcata, 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
