Establishment of Class E Airspace; Hollister, CA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes a Class E airspace area at Hollister,
CA. The development of a Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 31 has made this
action necessary. The intended effect of this action is to provide
adequate controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)
operations at Hollister Municipal Airport, Hollister, CA.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC August 15, 1996.

Operations Branch, AWP-530, Air Traffic Division, Western-Pacific

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On January 8, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing a Class E
airspace area at Hollister, CA (61 FR 549). On March 11, 1996, the FAA
issued a supplemental notice to amend this proposal to establish a
Class E airspace area at Hollister, (61 FR 9655). This action will
provide adequate controlled airspace to accommodate a GPS SIAP to RWY
31 at Hollister Municipal Airport, Hollister, CA.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposals to the FAA.
No comments to the proposals 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 E airspace designation
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 part 71) establishes a Class E airspace area at Hollister, CA. The
development of a GPS SIAP to RWY 31 has made this action necessary. The
intended effect of this action is to provide adequate controlled
airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 31 SIAP at Hollister
Municipal Airport, Hollister, CA.
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 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
