Revision of Class E Airspace; Burns, OR

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule will revise Class E airspace at Burns, OR. 
This additional Class E airspace is necessary to accommodate the new 
Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard 
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) at Burns Municipal Airport. This 
change will improve the safety of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 
aircraft executing the new RNAV GPS SIAP at Burns Municipal Airport, 
Burns, OR. A minor correction also is being made in the geographic 
position coordinates of the Burns Municipal Airport.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, July 07, 2005.

Administration, Western En Route and Oceanic Area Office, Airspace

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On December 17, 2004, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 Code of 
Federal Regulations part 71 (CFR part 71) by modifying Class E airspace 
at Burns, OR, (69 FR 75490). The proposed action would provide 
additional controlled airspace to accommodate the new RNAV GPS SIAP at 
the Burns Municipal Airport. Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rule making proceeding by submitting written 
comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class E 
airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 
7400.9M dated August 30, 2004, and effective September 16, 2004, which 
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class E airspace 
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
that order.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 revises Class E airspace at Burns, 
OR, by providing additional controlled airspace for aircraft executing 
the new RNAV GPS SIAP at Burns Municipal Airport. This additional 
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the 
surface of the earth is necessary for the containment and safety of IFR 
aircraft executing this SIAP procedure and transitioning to/from the en 
route environment.
    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 the regulations 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

[[Page 20048]]

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.
