DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 94-ACE-13]
Removal of Class E Airspace; Higginsville, MO
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action removes Class E airspace, specifically Class E5,
at Higginsville, Missouri. The only standard instrument approach
procedure (SIAP) at the Higginsville Industrial Municipal Airport,
Higginsville, Missouri, was cancelled on September 19, 1991. The reason
for this cancellation was the Higginsville Very High Frequency
Omnidirectional Range (VOR) was permanently removed from service, and
this was the navigational aid upon which this SIAP was based.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, October 13, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On May 2, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to remove Class E airspace at the
Higginsville Industrial Municipal Airport, Higginsville, Missouri (59
FR 22568).
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. An inadvertant
error was discovered in the NPRM which identified the airspace as Class
E2 when, in fact, it is Class E5. This error is corrected in this
document. Other than this change, this action 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) removes Class E airspace at Higginsville, Missouri,
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface. The cancellation of
this SIAP on September 19, 1991, at Higginsville Industrial Municipal
Airport has made this action necessary.
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 CFR 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, when promulgated, 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).
