14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 01-ANM-14]


Revision of Class E Airspace, Logan, UT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action revises the Class E airspace at Logan, UT. A newly 
developed Area Navigation (RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure 
(SIAP) and Departure Procedure (DP) to the Logan-Cache 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 conducting IFR operations at Logan-Cache Airport. The 
intended effect of this proposal is to provide adequate controlled 
airspace for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Logan-Cache 
Airport, Logan, UT.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, December 27, 2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On August 14, 2001, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 Code of 
Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by revising Class E 
airspace at Logan, UT, in order to provide a safer IFR environment at 
Logan-Cache Airport, Logan, UT (66 FR 42619). This amendment provides 
additional Class E5 700-feet and 1,200-feet controlled airspace at 
Logan, UT, to contain aircraft executing the RNAV (Global Positioning 
System (GPS) RWY 35 and FELDI RNAV DP at Logan-Cache Airport. 
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 Logan, UT, in order to provide 
adequate controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 
operations at Logan-Cache Airport, Logan, UT. This amendment revises 
Class E5 airspace at Logan, UT, to enhance safety and efficiency of IFR 
flight operations in the Logan, UT, terminal area. The FAA establishes 
Class E airspace where necessary to contain aircraft transitioning 
between the terminal and en route environments. This 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 Logan-Cache Airport and between the terminal and en route 
transition stages.
    The area will 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 7400.9J dated September 1, 2001, 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.
