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.
