14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 92-ASW-35]
Establishment of Class E Airspace, Osceola, AR
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes the Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above ground level (AGL) at Osceola Municipal Airport,
Osceola, AR. The development of a nondirectional radio beacon (NDB)
Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to runway (RWY) 19 has
made this rule necessary. This action is intended to provide adequate
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the
surface for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Osceola
Municipal Airport, Osceola, AR.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 13, 1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On June 15, 1995, a proposal to amend 14 CFR Part 71 to establish
Class E airspace at Osceola, AR, was published in the Federal Register
(60 FR 31424). The proposal was to establish controlled airspace
extending upward from 700 feet AGL. The intended effect of the proposal
was to provide adequate Class E airspace to contain aircraft executing
the NDB RWY 19 SIAP at Osceola, AR.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments to the proposal were received. The rule is adopted as
proposed. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. Designated Class E airspace areas are published in
Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9E, dated September 10, 1997, and
effective September 16, 1997, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document
would be published subsequently in the order.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR Part 71 establishes Class E airspace, at
Osceola, AR, extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a
6.4-mile radius of the Osceola Municipal Airport at Osceola, AR and
within 8 miles west and 4 miles east of the 021 deg. bearing from the
Osceola NDB extending from the 6.4-mile radius to 9.9 miles north of
the NDB.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations that need frequent and
routine amendments 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.
