Modification of Class E Airspace; St. Johns, AZ

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class E airspace area at St. Johns, 
AZ. The establishment of an Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning 
System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway 32

feet above the surface is needed to contain aircraft executing the RNAV 
(GPS) IAP to RWY 32 at St. Johns Industrial Air Park makes this 
proposal necessary. The intended effect of this action is to provide 
adequate controlled airspace for aircraft executing the RNAV (GPS) SIAP 
to RWY 32 at St. Johns Industrial Air Park, St. Johns, AZ.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 30, 2007. The Director of the Federal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On March 12, 2007, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 by 
establishing a Class E Airspace area at St. Johns Industrial Air Park, 
St. Johns, AZ (72 FR 10953). Additional controlled airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface is needed to contain aircraft 
executing the RNAV (GPS) SIAP to RWY 32 at St. Johns Industrial Air 
Park, St. Johns, AZ. 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.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by modifying the Class E airspace area at St. Johns Industrial 
Air Park, St. Johns, AZ. The establishment of an Area Navigation (RNAV) 
Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure 
(SIAP) to Runway 32 at St. Johns Industry Air Park, St. Johns, AZ., has 
made this action necessary.
    Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface is needed to contain aircraft executing the RNAV (GPS) SIAP 
to RWY 32 at St. Johns Industrial Air Park, St. Johns, AZ.
    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 designation listed in this document would be published 
subsequently in this Order.
    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

[[Page 30254]]

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.
