14 CFR Part 71
[Docket No. FAA-2006-24858; Airspace Docket No. 06-ASO-8]
Establishment of Class E Airspace; Mooresville, NC
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Mooresville, NC.
An Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) Runway (RWY) 14 has been developed
for Lake Norman Airpark. As a result, controlled airspace extending
upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is needed to contain the
SIAP and for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Lake Norman
Airpark. The operating status of the airport will change from Visual
Flight Rules (VFR) to include IFR operations concurrent with the
publication of the SIAP.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, September 28, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On June 7, 2006, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class E airspace
at Mooresville, NC, (71 FR 32876). This action provides adequate Class
E airspace for IFR operations at Lake Norman Airpark. Designations for
Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the
surface of the earth are published in FAA Order 7400.9N, dated
September 1, 2005, and effective September 16, 2005, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E designations
listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
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 at Mooresville, NC.
The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore, (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.
