Amendment to Class E Airspace; Washington, IA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This amendment modifies the Class E airspace area at 
Washington, IA, to accommodate a new standard instrument approach 
procedure (SIAP) at Washington Municipal Airport. This action will 
provide for additional controlled airspace necessary for both the new 
VOR/DME to Runway 36 and the existing VOR/DME RNAV or GPS and NDB SIAPs 
to Runway 31. A minor correction is also being made in the geographic 
coordinates of the Washington Municipal Airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 4, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 19, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by modifying the Class E airspace 
area at Washington, IA (60 FR 19553). The proposed action would provide 
controlled airspace to accommodate a VOR/DME SIAP to Runway 36 at the 
Washington Municipal Airport in addition to the existing VOR/DME RNAV 
or GPS and NDB Runway 31 SIAPs. A minor correction is also being made 
in the geographical coordinates of the airport.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments or objections to the proposal were received. Class E 
airspace areas extending from 700 feet or more above the surface of the 
earth are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9C dated August 
17, 1995, and effective September 16, 1995, which is incorporated by 
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The class 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) amends the Class E airspace area at Washington, IA, by 
providing additional controlled airspace for aircraft executing the new 
VOR/DME Runway 36 SIAP and the existing VOR/DME RNAV or GPS and NDB 
SIAPs to Runway 31 at the Washington Municipal Airport. This action 
also corrects the geographic coordinates of the airport.
    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. 
Therefore, this regulation--(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 

[[Page 52625]]
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.
