14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 01-ANM-18]
Modification of Class E Airspace, Hailey, ID
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace at Friedman Memorial
Airport, Hailey, ID. Newly developed Area Navigation (RNAV) Special
Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) at the Friedman Memorial
Airport made this action necessary. Additional Class E 700-feet and
1,200-feet controlled airspace, above the surface of the earth is
required to contain aircraft executing the RNAV Z RWY 31 Global
Positioning System (GPS) 31R Special SIAP at Friedman Memorial Airport.
The intended effect of this action is to provide adequate controlled
airspace for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Friedman
Memorial Airport, Hailey, ID.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 8, 2002.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On February 21, 2002, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by revising Class E
airspace at Hailey, ID, in order to provide a safer IFR environment at
Friedman Memorial Airport, Hailey, ID (67 FR 7981). This amendment
provides additional Class E2 Surface Area controlled airspace at
Hailey, ID to contain aircraft conducting instrument flight operations
at Friedman Memorial Airport. Interested parties were invited to
participate in the rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments
on the proposal. No comments were received.
The Rule
This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations, part 71 (14
CFR part 71) modifies Class E airspace at Hailey, ID, in order to
provide adequate controlled airspace for IFR operations at Friedman
Memorial Airport, Hailey, ID. This amendment modifies Class E 700 and
1,200 foot airspace at Hailey, ID, to enhance safety and efficiency of
IFR flight operations in the Hailey, ID, terminal area. The FAA
establishes Class E airspace where necessary to contain aircraft
transitioning between the terminal and en route environments. This rule
is designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable
airspace and to promote safe flight operations under IFR at the
Friedman Memorial Airport and between the terminal and en route
transition stages.
The area will be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot
reference. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700-
feet or more above the surface of the earth, are published in Paragraph
6005, of FAA Order 7400.9J dated August 31, 2001, and effective
September 16, 2001, 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 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.
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 will not have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
