DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 99-AGL-35]
Modification of Class D Airspace and Class E Airspace; Terre
Haute, IN
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice modifies Class D airspace and Class E airspace at
Terre Haute, IN. An analysis of the controlled airspace required for
the instrument approach procedures for Terre Haute International-Hulman
Field Airport, in light of the recent runway extension for that
airport, have resulted in the need to modify the Class D airspace and
the Class E airspace extension to the Class D airspace. The purpose of
this action is to provide adequate controlled airspace for the
instrument approach procedures and flight operations at the airport.
This action increases the radius of the Class D airspace and modifies
the Class E airspace extension, incorporating the increased radius, for
this airport.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, November 4, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Friday, June 11, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71
to modify Class D airspace and Class E airspace at Terre Haute, IN (64
FR 31525). The proposal was to modify the existing controlled airspace
to incorporate a recent runway extension at the airport. 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 D airspace designations
are published in paragraph 5000, and Class E airspace areas designated
as an extension to a Class D surface area are published in paragraph
6004, 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 D airspace and Class E airspace designations listed in this
document will be published subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies Class D airspace and
Class E airspace at Terre Haute, IN, by increasing the radius of the
Class D airspace and modifying the Class E airspace extension to the
Class D airspace, incorporating the increased radius, for Terre Haute
International-Hulman Field Airport. 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 11035; 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
than 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
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
