14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 99-AGL-37]


Modification of Class E Airspace; Delaware, OH

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This notice modifies Class E airspace at Delaware, OH. A 
Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure 
(SIAP) to Runway (Rwy) 10, a GPS SIAP to Rwy 28, and a VHF 
Omnidirectional Range (VOR) SIAP to Rwy 28, have been developed for 
Delaware Municipal Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward from 
700 to 1200 feet above ground level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft 
executing the approaches. This action increases the radius of the 
existing controlled airspace for this airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, December 30, 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 Tuesday, June 22, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 
to modify Class E airspace at Delaware, OH (64 FR 33234). 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 
Delaware, OH, to accommodate aircraft executing the proposed GPS Rwy 10 
SIAP, GPS Rwy 28 SIAP, and VOR Rwy 28 SIAP, at Delaware Municipal 
Airport by modifying the existing controlled airspace. 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 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.
