Establishment of Class E Airspace; Concord, NC
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Concord, NC. Two
Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment
(VOR/DME) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) have been
developed for the Concord Regional Airport. Controlled airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface (AGL) is needed for
instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport. This action is
intended to provide adequate Class E airspace for IFR operations at
Concord, NC.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 U.T.C. September 27, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On July 28, 1994, a proposal to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace at
Concord, North Carolina, was published in the Federal Register (59 FR
38386). The intended effect of this proposal is to provide adequate
Class E airspace for IFR operators executing the VOR/DME approaches at
Concord Regional Airport. Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments relating to this Class
E airspace proposal were received. The coordinates for this airspace
docket are based on North American Datum 83. Designations for Class E
airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface 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 Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
establishes Class E airspace at Concord, NC, to accommodate two (2)
VOR/DME SIAPs to Concord Regional Airport. Controlled airspace
extending upward from 700 feet to 1200 feet AGL is needed for IFR
operators executing the developed SIAPs.
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, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
