14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 01-AEA-09FR]


Modification of Class E Airspace; Jamestown, NY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class E2 airspace area at the 
Chautauqua County/Jamestown Airport (JHW), Jamestown, NY, by expanding 
the limits of the delegated airspace area. The intended affect of this 
action is to enhance safety for all potential users of this airspace 
operating under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). The development of 
several Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP) for the 
Chautauqua County/Jamestown Airport, Jamestown, NY have made this 
action necessary. This action is intended to provide adequate Class E 
airspace for flights executing the revised Global Positioning System 
(GPS) Approaches. This area will be depicted on aeronautical charts for 
pilot reference.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, September 6, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Francis T. Jordan, Jr., Airspace 
Specialist, Airspace Branch, AEA-520 FAA Eastern Region, 1 Aviation 
Plaza, Jamaica, NY 11434-4809; telephone: (718) 553-4521.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 18, 2001, the FAA proposed to amend Part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) to modify the Class E2 airspace 
at Chautauqua County/Jamestown Airport, NY (66 FR 19908).
    Interested 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 designated as a surface area 
for an airport are published in paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9H, 
dated September 1, 2000 and effective September 16, 2000, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 
designation listed in this document will be published in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR Part 71) modifies the Class E airspace area at Jamestown, NY by 
expanding the Class E2 airspace.
    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); (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.
