[Airspace Docket No. 99-AWP-3]
Modification of Class E Airspace; Santa Rosa, CA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class E airspace area at Santa Rosa,
CA. The establishment of a Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 14 and GPS RWY 32
at Sonoma County Airport has made this action necessary. Additional
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the
surface of the earth is needed to contain aircraft executing the GPS
RWY 14 and GPS RWY 32 SIAP to Sonoma County Airport. The intended
effect of this action is to provide adequate controlled airspace for
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations Sonoma County Airport, Santa
Rosa, CA.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC July 15, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On April 5, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 by
modifying the Class E airspace area at Santa Rosa, CA (64 FR 16369).
Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface is
needed to contain aircraft executing the GPS RWY 14 and GPS RWY 32 SIAP
at Sonoma County Airport. This action will provide adequate controlled
airspace for IFR operations at Sonoma County Airport, Santa Rosa, CA.
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. Class E airspace
designations for airspace extending from 700 feet or more above the
surface of the earth are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9F dated September 10, 1998, and effective September 16, 1998,
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 the Class E airspace area
at Santa Rosa, CA. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface is required for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 14 and
GPS RWY 32 SIAP at Sonoma County Airport. The effect of this action
will provide adequate airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 14
and GPS RWY 32 SIAP at Sonoma County Airport, Santa Rosa, CA.
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
[[Page 30242]]
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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
