14 CFR Part 71

[Docket FAA 2003-16460; Airspace Docket 02-ANM-16]


Amendment to Class E Airspace; Wray, CO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule will revise Class E airspace at Wray, CO. New 
Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard 
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) have been developed at Wray 
Municipal Airport. Additional Class E airspace extending upward from 
700 feet above the surface is necessary for the safety of instrument 
flight rules (IFR) aircraft executing these new SIAPs and transitioning 
between the terminal and en route environment.

DATES: 0901 UTC May 12, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ed Haeseker, Federal Aviation 
Administration, Air Traffic Organization, Western En Route and Oceanic 
Area Office, Airspace Branch, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, WA 98055-
4056; telephone (425) 227-2527.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On October 21, 2003, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rule making to modify Class E airspace at Wray, CO 
(69 FR 32295). New RNAV GPS SIAPs at Wray Municipal Airport, Wray, CO, 
make it necessary to increase the controlled airspace.
    Interested parties were invited to participate on 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 Wray 
Municipal Airport, Wray, CO. New RNAV GPS SIAPs at Wray Municipal 
Airport make it necessary to increase the Class E airspace. This 
additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more 
above the surface of the earth is for the containment and safety of IFR 
aircraft transitioning to/from the en route environment and executing 
these RNAV GPS SIAP procedures.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involved 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 ``signficant 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.
