DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 94-ANM-26]

 

Establish Class E Airspace; Trinidad, CO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at the Perry Stokes 
Airport, Trinidad, Colorado. Establishment of a new instrument approach 
procedure requires 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 UTC, October 13, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On May 10, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace for 
the Perry Stokes Airport, Trinidad, Colorado (59 FR 24093). 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,'' replacing it with the 
designation ``Class E airspace.'' Class E airspace designations for 
airport surface areas and for airspace areas extending upward from 700 
feet above the surface of the earth are published in Paragraphs 6002 
and 6005, respectively, 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 American Datum 83.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
establishes Class E airspace at Trinidad, Colorado. It will provide 
controlled airspace for a new instrument approach procedure at the Lake 
County 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.
