14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2005-20065; Airspace Docket No. 05-ACE-7]


Modification of Class E Airspace Monett, MO; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This action withdraws the Direct final rule, confirmation of 
effective date of a rule that was published in the Federal Register on 
Thursday, May 5, 2005 (70 FR 23790). The action was inadvertently 
published as a Direct final rule, confirmation of effective date when 
it should have been published as a final rule. It is replaced with a 
final rule. This rule establishes a Class E surface area at Monett, MO. 
It also modifies the Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 
feet above the surface at Monett, MO.
    The effect of this rule is to provide appropriate controlled Class 
E airspace for aircraft departing from and executing instrument 
approach procedures to Monett Municipal Airport and to segregate 
aircraft using instrument approach procedures in instrument conditions 
from aircraft operating in visual conditions.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, July 7, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On Thursday, March 7, 2005, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 
71 to establish a Class E surface area and to modify other Class E 
airspace at Monett, MO (70 FR 10917). The proposal was to establish a 
Class E surface area at Monett, MO. It was also to modify the Class E5 
airspace area to bring it into compliance with FAA directives. 
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.

The Rule

    This amendment to Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR Part 71) establishes Class E airspace designated as a surface area 
for an airport at Monett, MO. Controlled airspace extending upward from 
the surface of the earth is needed to contain aircraft executing 
instrument approach procedures to Monett Municipal Airport. Weather 
observations will be provided by an Automatic Weather Observing/
Reporting System (AWOS) and communications will be direct with 
Springfield Terminal Radar Approach Control Facility.
    This rule also revises the Class E airspace area extending upward 
from 700 feet above the surface at Monett, MO. An examination of this 
Class E airspace area for Monett, MO revealed noncompliance with FAA 
directives. This corrects identified discrepancies by increasing the 
area from a 6.5-mile to a 7.5-mile radius of Monett Municipal Airport, 
eliminating the extension to the airspace area, correcting errors in 
the Monett Municipal Airport airport reference point and defining 
airspace of appropriate dimensions to protect aircraft departing and 
executing instrument approach procedures to Monett Municipal Airport. 
The airspace area is brought into compliance with FAA directives. Both 
areas will be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts.
    Class E airspace areas designated as surface areas are published in 
Paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9M, Airspace Designations and 
Reporting Points, dated August 30, 2004, and effective September 16, 
2004, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. Class E 
airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface 
of the earth are published in Paragraph 6005 of the same Order. The 
Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves as 
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, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in 
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the 
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the 
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient 
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority 
since it contains aircraft executing instrument approach procedures to 
Monett Municipal Airport.
