[Airspace Docket No. 99-AEA-11]

Amendment to Class E Airspace; Moundsville, WV

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) at Marshall County Airport, Moundsville, WV. The development of a Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP) based on the Global Positioning System (GPS) has made this action necessary.

Amendments to the controlled airspace extending upward from 700 Feet Above Ground Level (AGL) are needed to accommodate the SIAP and for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, October 15, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Francis Jordan, Airspace Specialist, Airspace Branch, AEA-520, Air Traffic Division, Eastern Region, Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Building #111, John F. Kennedy International Airport, Jamaica, New York 11430, telephone: (718) 553-4521.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On July 13, 1999, a notice proposing to amend Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) by extending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Marshall County Airport, Moundsville, WV was published in the Federal Register (64 FR 1331).

Interesed 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 is adopted as proposed.

The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American Datum 83. Class E airspace areas designations for airspace extending upward from 700 feed AGL are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9G, dated September 1, 1999, and effective September 16, 1999, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will be amended in the order.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) provides controlled Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feed AGL for aircraft executing SIAPs at Marshall County 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 them operationally current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) 9is 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 will not have significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
