14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 99-AGL-26]


Modification of Class E Airspace; Indianapolis, IN; and 
Revocation of Class E Airspace; Greenwood, IN

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class E airspace at Indianapolis, IN, 
and revokes the Class E airspace at Greenwood, IN. The legal 
description for the Class E airspace for the Greenwood Municipal 
Airport has been published in duplicate, once as part of the 
Indianapolis, IN, Class E airspace, and once as Greenwood, IN, Class E 
airspace. Neither legal description for the Class E airspace for the 
Greenwood Municipal Airport, as published, is correct. Because the 
Class E airspace for Greenwood Municipal Airport is an integral part of 
the Indianapolis, IN, Class E airspace area, this action modifies the 
Class E airspace for Indianapolis, IN, to correctly describe the Class 
E airspace required for Greenwood Municipal Airport, and revokes the 
duplicate, and therefore unneeded, Class E airspace at Greenwood, IN.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, September 09, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On Tuesday, May 4, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 
to modify Class E airspace at Indianapolis, IN, and revoke Class E 
airspace at Greenwood, IN (64 FR 23809). The proposal was to correct 
the legal description of the existing controlled airspace to reflect 
the actual configuration of that controlled airspace. Interested 
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by 
submitting written

[[Page 38306]]

comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments objecting to the 
proposal were received. Class E airspace designations for airspace 
areas extending upward 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 
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 712 modifies the Class E airspace at 
Indianapolis, IN, by correctly describing the Class E airspace for the 
Indianapolis, Greenwood Municipal Airport and revokes the duplicate 
incorrect Class E airspace at Greenwood, IN. The area will be depicted 
on appropriate aeronautical charts.
    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.
