Modification of Class E Airspace; Bryan, OH

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This notice modifies Class E airspace at Bryan, OH. A Global 
Positioning System (GPS) Standard

[[Page 49648]]

Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (Rwy) 07, and a GPS SIAP 
to Rwy 25, have been developed for Williams County 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 Friday, July 23, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 
to modify Class E airspace at Bryan, OH (64 FR 39950). 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 
Bryan, OH, to accommodate aircraft executing the proposed GPS Rwy 07 
SIAP and GPS Rwy 25 SIAP at Williams County 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 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.
