DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 93-ASW-36]

 

Establishment of Class E Airspace: Leesville, LA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Leesville Airport, 
Leesville LA. The development of a Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB) 
standard instrument approach procedure (SIAP) has made this action 
necessary. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
ground level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft executing the SIAP. 
This action is intended to provide adequate Class E airspace for 
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations for Leesville Airport, 
Leesville.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, December 8, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gregory L. Juro, System Management 
Branch, Air Traffic Division, Southwest Region, Department of 
Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, Fort Worth, TX 76193-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On November 30, 1993, a proposal to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E Airspace at 
Leesville Airport, Leesville LA, was published in the Federal Register 
(58 FR 63128). A SIAP was developed for the Leesville Airport. The 
proposal sought to revise the controlled airspace extending upward from 
700 feet AGL to contain instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in 
controlled airspace during portions of the terminal operation and while 
transitioning between the enroute and terminal environments.
    Interested persons were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments regarding the proposal were received. Except for editorial 
changes, this amendment is the same as that proposed in the notice.
    The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. 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, 1994). 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) establishes Class E airspace located at Leesville Airport, 
Leesville, LA, to provide controlled airspace extending upward from 700 
feet AGL for aircraft executing the SIAP.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations that need frequent and 
routine amendments 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.
