14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 01-ANM-04]


Establishment of Class E Airspace, Kanab, UT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Kanab, UT. Newly 
developed Area Navigation (RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure 
(SIAP) and Departure Procedure (DP) to the Kanab Municipal Airport has 
made this action necessary. Class E 700-feet and 1,200-feet controlled 
airspace, above the surface of the earth is required to contain 
aircraft executing procedures in the Instrument Flight Rules (IFR).

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, April 18, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Durham, ANM-520.7, Federal 
Aviation Administration, Docket No. 01-ANM-04, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., 
Renton, Washington 98055-4056: telephone number: (425) 227-2527.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 17, 2001, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 Code of 
Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class E 
airspace at Kanab, UT, in order to accommodate new RNAV SIAP and DP at 
Kanab Municipal Airport, Kanab, UT (66 FR 43134). This amendment 
provides Class E5 airspace at Kanab, UT, 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) establishes Class E airspace at Kanab, UT, in order to 
accommodate new SIAP and DP to the Kanab Municipal Airport, Kanab, UT. 
This amendment establishes Class E5 airspace at Kanab, UT, to meet 
current criteria standards associated with the RNAV SIAP and DP. 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 IFR at the Kanab 
Municipal 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 August 31, 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.
