DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 94-ANM-20]

 

Establishment of Class E Airspace; Hoquiam, WA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at the Bowerman 
Airport, Hoquiam, Washington. 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 June 2, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace for 
the Bowerman Airport, Hoquiam, Washington, (59 FR 28499; June 2, 1994). 
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 
airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet above the surface of the 
earth 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 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 Hoquiam, Washington. It will provide 
controlled airspace for a new instrument approach procedure at the 
Bowerman 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.
