[Airspace Docket No. 01-ANM-06]


Proposed Modification of Class E Airspace, Cedar City, UT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, (FAA), DOT

ACTION:  Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM.

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to modify the Class E airspace at Cedar 
City, UT. Newly developed Area Navigation (RNAV) approach at the Cedar 
City, Regional Airport has made this proposal necessary. Additional 
Class E 1,200 feet controlled airspace, above the surface of the earth 
is required to contain aircraft executing the RNAV (Global Positioning 
System (GPS)) RWY 20 at Cedar City, Regional Airport. The intended 
effect of this proposal is to provide adequate controlled airspace for 
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operating at Cedar City, Regional 
Airport, Cedar City, UT.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 11, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the proposal in triplicate to: Manager,

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal 
Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by modifying Class E airspace at 
Cedar City, UT. Newly developed Area Navigation (RNAV) approach at the 
Cedar City, Regional Airport has made this proposal necessary. 
Additional Class E 1,200 feet controlled airspace, above the surface of 
the earth is required to contain aircraft executing the RNAV (GPS) RWY 
20, at Cedar City, Regional Airport, has made this proposal necessary. 
The FAA establishes Class E airspace where necessary to contain 
aircraft transitioning between the terminal and en route environments. 
The intended effect of this proposal is designed to provide for the 
safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace. This proposal would 
promote safe flight operations under IFR at the Cedar City, Regional 
Airport and between the terminal and en route transition stages.
    The area would be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot 
reference. The coordinates for this 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, 2000, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. 
The Class E airspace designation listed in this document would be 
published subsequently in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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 11013; 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, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
