[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 21 (Friday, January 31, 1997)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 4632-4633] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-2421] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 14 CFR Part 71 [Airspace Docket No. 97-ACE-1] Removal of Class E Airspace; Wentzville, MO AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration [FAA], DOT. ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This action removes the Class E airspace at Wentzville, MO. The only standard instrument approach procedure (SIAP) at the Wentzville Airport, Wentzville, MO, was canceled April 23, 1996. The reason for cancellation was the Wentzville Airport reverted to private- use status in August 1995. EFFECTIVE DATE: January 31, 1997. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy Randolph, Operations Branch, ACE-530C, Federal Aviation Administration, 601 E. 12th St., Kansas City, MO 64106; telephone (816) 426-3408. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On March 19, 1996, the President, Wentzville Airport, Inc. requested cancellation of the instrument approach procedure and advised that the airport was converted to a private-use airport in August 1995. Based on that request the Class E controlled airspace area is no longer necessary. The Rule This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) removes the Class E airspace at [[Page 4633]] Wentzville, Missouri, extending upward from 700 feet above the surface. The cancellation of this SIAP on April 23, 1996, at Wentzville Airport has made this proposal necessary. 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 12886; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 CFR 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, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
