DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 94-AWA-9]


Modification of the Roanoke Regional/Woodrum Field, VA, and 
Rochester-Monroe County Airport, NY, Class C Airspace Areas and 
Establishment of the Roanoke Regional/Woodrum Field, VA, Class E 
Airspace Area

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule modifies the Class C airspace areas at Roanoke 
Regional/Woodrum Field, VA, and Rochester-Monroe County Airport, NY. 
The effective hours of the Roanoke Regional/Woodrum Field, VA, Class C 
airspace area will coincide with the associated radar approach control 
facility's hours of operation. This action changes the name of the 
Rochester-Monroe County Airport, NY, to Greater Rochester International 
Airport, NY. This rule will not change the designated boundaries or 
altitudes of these Class C airspace areas. Class C airspace areas are 
predicated on an operational air traffic control tower serviced by a 
radar approach control facility. In addition, this action establishes 
Class E airspace at Roanoke Regional/Woodrum Field, VA, when the 
associated radar approach control facility is not in operation.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, March 30, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On January 13, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify the Class C 
airspace areas at Roanoke Regional/Woodrum Field, VA, and Rochester-
Monroe County Airport, NY, and to establish a Class E airspace area at 
Roanoke Regional/Woodrum Field, VA (60 FR 3018).
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments were received. Except for editorial changes, this amendment 
is the same as that proposed in the notice. Class C and E airspace 
designations are published in paragraphs 4000 and 6002, respectively, 
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 C 
and E airspace designations 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) modifies the Roanoke Regional/Woodrum Field, VA, Class C 
airspace area by amending the effective hours to coincide with the 
associated radar approach control facility's hours of operation and by 
changing the name of the Rochester-Monroe County Airport to Greater 
Rochester International Airport. This action will not change the 
designated boundaries or altitudes of these Class C airspace areas. In 
addition, this action establishes the Roanoke Regional/Woodrum Field, 
VA, Class E airspace area when the associated radar approach control 
facility is not in operation.
    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 will not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
