Modification of Class E Airspace; Barnesville, OH

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace at Barnesville, OH. A 
Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure 
(SIAP) to Runway (Rwy) 27 has been developed for Barnesville-Bradfield 
Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet 
above ground level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft executing the 
approach. This action increases the radius of the existing controlled 
airspace for this airsport.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Annette Davis, Air Traffic Division,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On Tuesday, May 4, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 
to modify Class E airspace at Barnesville, OH (64 FR 23808). The 
proposal was to add controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to 
1200 feet AGL to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations in 
controlled airspace during portions of the terminal operation and while 
transiting between the enroute and terminal environments. 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. 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 
designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies Class E airspace at 
Barnesville, OH, to accommodate aircraft executing the proposed GPS Rwy 
27 SIAP at Barnesville-Bradfield Airport by modifying the existing 
controlled airspace. The areas 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, 
1997); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation 
as the anticipated import 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 or small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
