 14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 93-ASW-58]

 

Modification of Class E Airspace: Clarendon, TX

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class E airspace at Clarendon, TX. A 
recent amendment to the nondirectional radio beacon (NDB) Runway (RWY) 
1 standard instrument approach procedure (SIAP) resulted in the need to 
release control of some Class E airspace at Clarendon Municipal 
Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
ground level, designated in conjunction with an airport for which an 
approved instrument approach procedure has been prescribed is needed 
for aircraft executing the amended SIAP. This action will release 
control of unneeded Class E airspace, while maintaining adequate Class 
E airspace for IFR operations at Clarendon Municipal Airport, 
Clarendon, TX.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, March 30, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On March 31, 1994, a proposal to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify the Class E airspace at 
Clarendon, TX, was published in the Federal Register (59 FR 15138).
    Interested persons were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments objecting to 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 7400.9B 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 
revises the Class E airspace located at Clarendon, TX. An amendment to 
the NDB RWY 1 SIAP permits a reduction in the amount of Class E 
airspace needed for IFR operations at Clarendon Municipal Airport. The 
intended effect of this action is to release control of unneeded Class 
E airspace while maintaining adequate Class E airspace for aircraft 
executing the SIAP's at Clarendon, TX.
    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.
