RIN 2120-AA66


Modification of Class E Airspace; Honolulu International Airport, 
HI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION:  Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class E airspace area at Honolulu 
International Airport, HI. The establishment of an Area Navigation 
(RNAV) Required Navigation Performance (RNP) Instrument Approach 
Procedure (IAP) to Runway (RWY) 08L and 26L to Honolulu International 
Airport, Honolulu, HI 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 this RNAV 
(RNP) IAP to RWY 08L and 26L to Honolulu International Airport. The 
intended effect of this action is to provide adequate controlled 
airspace for Instrument Flight Rules operations at Honolulu 
International Airport, Honolulu, HI.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC January 18, 2007. The Director of the 
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 
title 1, Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual 
revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments.

Terminal Operations, Federal Aviation Administration, at 15000 Aviation 
Boulevard, Lawndale, California 90261, telephone (310) 725-6502.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On August 2, 2006, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 by 
modifying the Class E airspace area at Honolulu International Airport 
(06 FR 43680). Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 
feet or move above the surface is needed to contain aircraft executing 
the RNAV (RNP) IAP RWY 08L and 26L to Honolulu International Airport. 
This action will provide adequate controlled airspace for aircraft 
executing the RNAV (RNP) IAP RWY 08L and 26L to Honolulu International 
Airport, Honolulu, HI.
    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 
7400.9P, dated September 1, 2006, and effective September 15, 2006, 
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 Honolulu International Airport, HI. The establishment of a RNAV 
(RNP) IAP RWY 08L and 26L to Honolulu International Airport has made 
this action necessary. The effect of this action will provide adequate 
airspace executing the RNAV (RNP) IAP RWY 08L and 26L to Honolulu 
International Airport, Honolulu, HI.
    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 Regulation 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 a small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
