DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 94-ANM-18]
Establishment of Class E Airspace; Leadville, CO
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at the Lake County
Airport, Leadville, Colorado. Establishment of a new instrument
approach procedure requires controlled airspace for the procedure.
Airspace reclassification, in effect as of September 16, 1994, 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 u.t.c. October 13, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On April 11, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace for
the Lake County Airport, Leadville, Colorado (59 FR 17056; April 11,
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, 1994, 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 7400.9B dated July
18, 1994, and effective September 16, 1994, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. 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 Leadville, 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 Polices 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.
