14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 00-ACE-10]


Establishment of Class E Airspace; Lamoni, IA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION:  Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace area at Lamoni, IA. 
Area Navigation (RNAV) Runway (RWY) 17 and RNAV RWY 35 Standard 
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) have been developed to serve 
Lamoni Municipal Airport, Lamoni, IA. Controlled airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is needed to accommodate 
aircraft executing these SIAPs. This action establishes controlled 
airspace at Lamoni, IA, for aircraft executing the SIAPs at the Lamoni 
Municipal Airport.
    In addition, an error was noted in the latitude of the Airport 
Reference Point (ARP) for the Lamoni Municipal Airport, Lamoni, IA, as 
it appeared in the proposed rule.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC November 30, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On May 22, 2000, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of Title 14 of 
the Federal Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class E 
airspace area at Lamoni, IA (65 FR 32047). The proposed action was to 
provide controlled airspace to accommodate aircraft executing the RNAV 
RWY 17 and RNAV RWY 35 SIAPs. In addition, this action corrects an 
error in the latitude of ARP for the Lamoni Municipal Airport as it 
appeared in the proposed rule.
    After careful review of all available information related to the 
subject presented above, the FAA has determined that air safety and the 
public interest require adoption of the rule. The FAA has determined 
that this correction will not change the meaning of the action nor add 
any additional burden on the public beyond that which was proposed. 
This action corrects the error in the latitude of the Lamoni Municipal 
Airport ARP.
    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 
areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the 
earth 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 published subsequently in 
the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of Title 14 of the Federal Regulations 
(14 CFR part 71) establishes Class E airspace area at Lamoni, IA, by 
providing controlled airspace for aircraft executing the RNAV RWY 17 
and RNAV RWY 35 SIAPs. 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.
