[Federal Register Volume 61, Number 2 (Wednesday, January 3, 1996)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 121-122] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 96-58] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 14 CFR Part 71 [Airspace Docket No. 95-AWP-32] Amendment of Class E Airspace; Lovelock, NV AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This action amends the Class E airspace area at Lovelock, NV. The development of a Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 1 has made this action necessary. The intended effect of this action is to provide adequate controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Lovelock Derby Field, Lovelock, NV. EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, February 29, 1996. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Speer, Airspace Specialist, System Management Branch, AWP-530, Air Traffic Division, Western- Pacific Region, Federal Aviation Administration, 15000 Aviation Boulevard, Lawndale, California 90261, telephone (310) 725-6533. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On October 30, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending the Class E airspace area at Lovelock, NV (60 FR 55224). This action would provide adequate controlled airspace to accommodate a GPS SIAP to RWY 1 at Lovelock Derby Field, Lovelock, NV. 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 are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9C dated August 17, 1995, and effective September 16, 1995, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in this Order. The Rule This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR [[Page 122]] part 71) amends the Class E airspace area at Lovelock, NV. The development of a GPS SIAP to RWY 1 has made this action necessary. The intended effect of this action is to provide adequate airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 1 SIAP at Lovelock Derby Field, NV. 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 proposed 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 10034; 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.
