ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes the Class E airspace area at Bolivar, 
MO. The development of Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 18, 
GPS RWY 36, and VHF Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment 
(VOR/DME) RWY 36 Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) have 
made this rule necessary. This action is intended to provide adequate 
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level 
(AGL) for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Bolivar Municipal 
Airport, Bolivar, MO.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC January 28, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On September 29, 1998, a proposal to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace area at 
Bolivar, MO, was published in the Federal Register (63 FR 51867). This 
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 GPS RWY 18, GPS RWY 36, 
and VOR/DME RWY 36 SIAPs at Bolivar Municipal Airport, Bolivar, MO.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments objecting to the proposal were received.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Regulations (14 CFR part 
71) establishes the Class E airspace area at Bolivar, MO.
    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 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.
