SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On March 17, 1998, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by revising the Cedar
City, UT, Class E airspace area (63 FR 13015). This revision provides
the additional airspace necessary to encompass new and revised SIAP for
the Cedar City Regional Airport, Cedar City, UT. This action also
corrects the coordinates for the Cedar City Regional Airport which were
updated since the proposal and are corrected herein. Interested parties
were invited to participate in the rulemaking proceeding by submitting
written comments on the proposal. No comments were received.
The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700
feet or more above the surface of the earth 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 will be
published subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies Class E airspace at Cedar
City, UT, by providing the additional airspace necessary to fully
contain new and revised flight procedures at Cedar City Regional
Airport. This modification of airspace allows the missed approach, the
holding procedure, and the transition procedure for the new or revised
SIAP to be fully encompassed within controlled airspace. The intended
effect of this rule is designed to provide safe and efficient use of
the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) at the Cedar City Regional Airport and
between the terminal and en route transition stages.
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 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.
