14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 00-AGL-24]


Modification of Class E Airspace; Youngstown, OH

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace at Youngstown, OH. An 
VHF Omnidirectional Range-A (VOR-A) Standard Instrument Approach 
Procedure (SIAP) to Runway 26 has been developed for Youngstown-Warren 
Regional Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface is needed to contain aircraft executing this 
approach. This action increases the width of the northerly extension 
and increases the radius of the existing Class E airspace for 
Youngstown, OH.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, February 21, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Denis C. Burke, Air Traffic Division, 
Airspace Branch, AGL-520, Federal Aviation Administration, 2300 East 
Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois 60018, telephone (847) 294-7568.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On Friday, October 6, 2000, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 
71 to modify Class E airspace at Youngstown, OH (65 FR 59762). The 
proposal was to modify controlled airspace extending upward from 700 
feet above the surface to contain aircraft executing instrument 
approach procedures.
    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 7400.9J dated August 
31, 2001, and effective September 16, 2001, which is incorporated by 
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in 
this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies Class E airspace at 
Youngstown, OH, to accommodate aircraft executing instrument flight 
procedures into and out of Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport. 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.
