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,

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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
