[Airspace Docket No. 97-AWP-2]


Establishment of Class E Airspace; Taylor, AZ

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes a Class E airspace area at Taylor, AZ. 
The establishment of a Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard 
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 21 at Taylor 
Municipal Airport has made this proposal 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 21 SIAP to Taylor Municipal Airport. The intended effect of this 
action is to provide adequate controlled airspace for Instrument Flight 
Rules (IFR) operations at Taylor Municipal Airport, Taylor, AZ.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On April 13, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 by 
establishing a Class E airspace area at Taylor, AZ (64 FR 17984). 
Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface is needed to contain airspace executing the GPS RWY 21 SIAP at 
Taylor Municipal Airport. This action will provide adequate controlled 
airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 21 SIAP at Taylor Municipal 
Airport, Taylor, AZ.
    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 establishes a Class E airspace 
area at Taylor, AZ. The development of a GPS RWY 21 SIAP has made this 
action necessary. The effect of this action will provide adequate 
airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 21 SIAP at Taylor Municipal 
Airport, Taylor, AZ.
    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.
