Establishment of Class E Airspace; Coolidge, AZ

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes a Class E airspace area at Coolidge, 
AZ. The development of a Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard 
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 23 and a VHF 
Ominidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) approach 
to RWY 05 has made this action necessary. The intended effect of this 
action is to provide adequate controlled airspace for Instrument Flight 
Rules (IFR) operations at Coolidge Municipal Airport, Coolidge, AZ.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC October 10, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On June 27, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing a Class E 
airspace area at Coolidge, AZ (61 FR 33390). This action will provide 
adequate controlled airspace to accommodate a GPS RWY 23 and a VOR/DME 
RWY 05 SIAP at Collidge Municipal Airport, Coolidge, AZ.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposals to the FAA. 
No comments to the proposals were received. Class E airspace 
designations 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 E airspace designations 
listed in this document will be published subsequently in this Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) establishes a Class E airspace area at Coolidge, AZ. The 
development of a GPS SIAP to RWY 23 and a VOR/DME SIAP to RWY 05 has 
made this action necessary. The effect of this action will provide 
adequate airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 23 and VOR/DME. 
RWY 05 SIAP at Coolidge Municipal Airport, Coolidge, AZ.
    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 regulaton--(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 10034; 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.
