Establishment of Class E Airspace; Marana Regional Airport, AZ

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes a Class E airspace area at Marana 
Regional Airport, AZ. The establishment of an Area Navigation (RNAV) 
Global Positioning System (GPS) Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP) 
RNAV (GPS) Runway (RWY) 3, 12, 21 and 30 IAP and a Nondirectional Radio 
Beacon (NDB) IAP to RWY 12 at Marana Regional Airport, Tucson, AZ has 
made this action necessary. Additional controlled airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth is needed 
to contain aircraft executing these RNAV (GPS) and NDB approach 
procedures. The intended effect of this action is to provide adequate 
controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rules operations at Marana 
Regional Airport, Tucson, AZ.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC October 27, 2005.

Terminal Operations, Federal Aviation Administration, at 15000 Aviation 
Boulevard, Lawndale, California 90261, telephone (310) 725-6613.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On June 8, 2005, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR parts 71 by 
modifying the Class E airspace area at Marana Regional Airport, AZ (05 
FR 11326). Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 
feet or more above the surface is needed to contain aircraft executing 
the RNAV (GPS) RWY 3, 12, 21 and 30 IAP and a Nondirectional Radio 
Beacon (NDB) IAP to RWY 12 at Marana Regional Airport, Tucson, AZ. This 
action will provide adequate controlled airspace for aircraft executing 
the RNAV (GPS) RWY 3, 12, 21 and 30 IAP and NDB RWY 12 IAP at Marana 
Regional Airport, Tucson, AZ.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking, 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments to the proposal were received. Class E airspace 
designations for airspace extending from 700 feet or more above the 
surface of the earth 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 71.1. The Class E airspace 
designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies the Class E airspace area 
at Marana Regional Airport, AZ. The establishment of a RNAV (GPS) RWY 
3, 12, 21 and 30 IAP and a Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB) IAP to RWY 
12 at Marana Regional Airport has made this action necessary. The 
effect of this action will provide adequate airspace for aircraft 
executing the RNAV (GPS) RWY 3, 12, 21 and 30 IAP and NDB RWY 12 IAP at 
Marana Regional Airport, Tucson, AZ.
    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.
