[Airspace Docket No. 00-ANM-29]


Revision of Class E Airspace, Salmon, ID

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action revises the Class E airspace at Salmon, ID. Newly 
developed Area Navigation (RNAV) and VOR/DME Standard Instrument 
Approach Procedure (SIAP), and the RNAV Departure Procedure (DP) at the 
Salmon Lemhi County Airport made this action necessary. Additional 
Class E 700-feet and 1,200-feet controlled airspace, above the surface 
of the earth is required to contain aircraft executing the RNAV and 
VOR/DME SIAP's, and RNAV DP at Salmon Lemhi County Airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, September 6, 2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 11, 2001, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 Code of 
Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by revising Class E 
airspace at Salmon, ID, in order to accommodate new RNAV SIAP's at 
Salmon Lemhi County Airport, Salmon, ID (66 FR 18737). This amendment 
provides Class E5 airspace at Salmon, ID, to meet current criteria 
standards associated with the SIAP. Interested parties were invited to 
participate in the rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments 
on the proposal. No comments were received.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 
CFR part 71) revises Class E airspace at Salmon, ID, in order to 
accommodate a new SIAP to the Salmon Lemhi County Airport, Salmon, ID. 
This amendment revises Class E5 airspace at Salmon, ID, to meet current 
criteria standards associated with the RNAV and VOR/DME SIAP. The FAA 
establishes Class E airspace where necessary to contain aircraft 
transitioning between the terminal and en route environments. The rule 
is designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable 
airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument Flight 
Rules (IFR) at the Salmon Lemhi County Airport and between the terminal 
and en route transition stages.
    The area will be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot 
reference. The coordinates for the airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. 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 7400.9H dated September 1, 2000, and effective 
September 16, 2001, 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 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. 
It, therefore, (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.
