14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 98-ASO-18]


Amendment of Class E Airspace; Carrollton, GA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This notice amends Class E airspace at Carrollton, GA. The 
Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) or Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway 
(RWY) 34 and the Localizer (LOC) RWY 34 Standard Instrument Approach 
Procedures (SIAP's) have been amended to the West Georgia Regional 
Airport. The outbound course from the Carrollton NDB for the NDB or GPS 
RWY 34 SIAP has changed from the 168 degree bearing to the 167 degree 
bearing and the inbound course has changed from the 348 degree bearing 
to the 347 degree bearing. The outbound course from the Carrollton NDB 
for the LOC RWY 34 SIAP has changed from the 165 degree bearing to the 
166 degree bearing and the inbound course has changed from the 345 
degree bearing to the 346 degree bearing. As a result, the length of 
the Class E airspace extension south of the NDB will be reduced from 9 
to 7 miles and the width of the airspace extension will be increased 
from 6 to 7 miles.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, March 25, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On November 27, 1998, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class E 
airspace at Carrollton, GA, (63 FR 65565). This action provides 
adequate Class E airspace for IFR operations at West Georgia Regional 
Airport. Designations for Class E airspace extending upward from 700 
feet or more above the surface are published in FAA Order 7400.9F, 
dated September 10, 1998, and effective September 16, 1998, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class E designation 
listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
    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 was received.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) amends Class E Airspace at Carrollton, GA for the West 
Georgia Regional Airport.
    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.
