14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2005-23270; Airspace Docket No. 05-ANM-16]


Revision to Class E Airspace; Laramie, WY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule will revise the Class E airspace at Laramie, 
WY. Additional controlled airspace is necessary for the safety of 
aircraft executing an instrument approach procedure (IAP), and 
executing a new holding pattern published at Laramie Regional Airport, 
Laramie, WY. Additionally, this action reflects a change in the airport 
name from General Brees Field to Laramie Regional Airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 30, 2007. The Director of the Federal 
Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR 
part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 
publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On August 11, 2006, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to revise Class E Airspace at Laramie, WY 
(71 FR 46132). This action will provide additional controlled airspace 
necessary

[[Page 29885]]

for the safety of IFR aircraft executing a procedure turn (PT) maneuver 
as part of the IAP at Laramie Regional Airport. Additional airspace is 
also necessary to accommodate aircraft executing a new holding pattern 
published at Laramie Regional Airport, Laramie, WY. Interested parties 
were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort 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 7400.9P, dated September 1, 2006, and effective September 15, 
2006, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 
airspace designations listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in that Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by revising Class E airspace at Laramie, WY. Additional 
airspace is also necessary to accommodate aircraft executing a new 
holding pattern published at Laramie Regional Airport, Laramie, WY. 
Additionally, this action reflects a change in the airport name from 
General Brees Field to Laramie Regional Airport.
    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 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, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
