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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Annette Davis, Air Traffic Division, 
Airspace Branch, AGL-520, Federal Aviation Administration, 2300 East 
Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois 60018, telephone (847) 294-7568.

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).
