Amendment to Class E Airspace; Wenatchee, WA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule will revise the Class E airspace area at 
Wenatchee, WA. Additional Class E airspace is necessary to accommodate 
aircraft using a new Instrument Landing System (ILS) Standard 
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) at Wenatchee/Pangborn Memorial 
Memorial Airport. This change is necessary for the safety of Instrument 
Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft executing the new SIAP at Wenatchee/
Pangborn Memorial Airport, Wenatchee, WA.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 19, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ed Haeseker, Federal Aviation

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On May 25, 2005, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 Code of Federal 
Regulations part 71 (CFR part 71) by revising Class E airspace at 
Wenatchee, WA (70 FR 20093). The proposed action

[[Page 72372]]

would provide additional controlled airspace to accommodate the new ILS 
SIAP at Wenatchee/Pangborn Memorial Airport, Wenatchee, WA. Interested 
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 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 
Wenatchee, WA, by providing additional controlled airspace for aircraft 
executing the new ILS SIAP at the Wenatchee/Pangborn Memorial Airport. 
This additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or 
more above the surface is necessary for the containment and safety of 
IFR aircraft executing this SIAP 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 ncessary 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 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.
