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.
