14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 95-ASO-4]


Amendment to Class E Airspace; Smithfield, NC

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This amendment modifies Class E airspace at Smithfield, NC. A 
LOC/DME RWY 3 Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) has been 
developed for Johnston County Airport. Additional controlled airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface (AGL) is needed to 
accommodate this SIAP and for instrument flight rules (IFR) operations 
at the airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, July 20, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Steve McDuffee, System Management Branch, Air Traffic Division, Federal 
Aviation Administration, P.O. Box 20636, Atlanta, Georgia 30320; 
telephone (404) 305-5570.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On February 3, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by modifying Class E 
airspace at Smithfield, NC (60 FR 6686). This action would provide 
adequate Class E airspace for IFR operations at Johnston County 
Airport.
    Interested parties 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. 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. 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) modifies Class E airspace at Smithfield, NC, to 
accommodate a LOC/DME RWY 3 SIAP and for IFR operations at Johnston 
County Airport.
    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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
