Establishment of Class E Airspace; Saluda, VA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Saluda, VA. The
development of a Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument
Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Hummel Field Airport, Saluda, VA has made
this action necessary. The intended effect of this action is to provide
adequate controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)
operations at Hummel Field Airport.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On September 17, 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 Hummel Field Airport, Saluda, VA (61 FR 48870). The
development of a GPS RWY 1 SIAP at Hummel Field Airport has made this
action necessary.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments objecting to the proposal were received. Class E airspace
designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9D,
dated September 4, 1996, and effective September 16, 1996, 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 rule
This amendment to Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR Part 71) establishes a Class E airspace area at Saluda, VA. The
development of a GPS RWY 1 SIAP at Hummel Field Airport has made this
action necessary. The intended effect of this action is to provide
adequate Class E airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 1 SIAP at
the airport.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendment 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 significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
