DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 92-ASW-30]


Revision of Class E Airspace; Russellville, AR

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action revises the Class E airspace at Russellville, AR. 
A nondirectional radio beacon (NDB) standard instrument approach 
procedure (SIAP) has been developed at Russellville Municipal Airport 
and has made this action necessary. Controlled airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet above ground level (AGL) is needed for aircraft 
executing the approach. This action is intended to provide adequate 
Class E airspace for instrument flight rule (IFR) operations for 
aircraft executing the SIAP at Russellville Municipal Airport, 
Russellville, AR.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, February 2, 1995.

Administration, Fort Worth, TX 76193-0530, telephone 817-222-5591.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On November 30, 1993, a proposal to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise the transition area at 
Russellville, AR, was published in the Federal Register (58 FR 63130). 
A SIAP, NDB-A, approach was developed for the Russellville Municipal 
Airport, Russellville, AR. The proposal was to revise the controlled 
airspace extending upward from 700 feet AGL to contain IFR operations 
in controlled airspace during portions of the terminal operation and 
while transitioning between the enroute and terminal environments.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments to the proposal were received. The latitude and longitude 
for the Russellville Municipal Airport, and the Russellville NDB, have 
been changed to reflect an increase of one second in each of the 
latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates. Except for the non-
substantive changes just discussed, the rule is adopted as proposed.
    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 AGL 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 (14 
CFR part 71) revises the Class E airspace located at Russellville, AR, 
to provide controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet AGL for 
aircraft executing the SIAP at Russellville Municipal Airport.
    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.
