[Airspace Docket No. 99-AEA-11]


Amendment to Class E Airspace; Moundsville, WV

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 
700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) at Marshall County Airport, 
Moundsville, WV. The development of a Standard Instrument Approach 
Procedures (SIAP) based on the Global Positioning System (GPS) has made 
this action necessary.
    Amendments to the controlled airspace extending upward from 700 
Feet Above Ground Level (AGL) are needed to accommodate the SIAP and 
for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, October 15, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Francis Jordan, Airspace 
Specialist, Airspace Branch, AEA-520, Air Traffic Division, Eastern 
Region, Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Building #111, John F.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On July 13, 1999, a notice proposing to amend Part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) by extending the Class E 
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Marshall 
County Airport, Moundsville, WV was published in the Federal Register 
(64 FR 1331).
    Interesed parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments to the proposal were received. The rule is adopted as 
proposed.
    The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. Class E airspace areas designations for airspace 
extending upward from 700 feed AGL are published in paragraph 6005 of 
FAA Order 7400.9G, dated September 1, 1999, and effective September 16, 
1999, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 
airspace designation listed in this document will be amended in the 
order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR Part 71) provides controlled Class E airspace extending upward from 
700 feed AGL for aircraft executing SIAPs at Marshall County Airport.
    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) 9is 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 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
