14 CFR Part 71
[Docket No. FAA-2003-14656; Airspace Docket No. 03-ACE-25]
Establishment of Class E Airspace; Brookfield, MO
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes a Class E airspace area at Brookfield,
MO. The FAA has developed Standard Instrument Approach Procedures
(SIAPs) to serve the North Central Missouri Regional Airport,
Brookfield, MO. Controlled airspace is needed to accommodate the SIAPs.
The effect of this proposal is to provide controlled Class E
airspace for aircraft executing the SIAPs and to segregate aircraft
using instrument approach procedures in instrument conditions from
aircraft operating in visual conditions.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, September 4, 2003.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Monday, May 5, 2003, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by establishing a Class E
airspace area at Brookfield, MO (68 FR 23622). The FAA has developed an
Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 18,
ORIGINAL SIAP and an RNAV (GPS) RWY 36, ORIGINAL SIAP to serve North
Central Missouri Regional Airport, Brookfield, MO. Controlled airspace
extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is needed to
accommodate the SIAPs. The proposal was to establish a Class E airspace
area extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Brookfield,
MO. 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 areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above
the surface of the earth are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9K, dated August 30, 2002, and effective September 16, 2002, 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 14 CFR Part 71 establishes a Class E airspace
area extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Brookfield,
MO. This action provides controlled airspace to accommodate aircraft
executing newly developed SIAPs serving North Central Missouri Regional
Airport, Brookfield, MO. The area will be depicted on appropriate
aeronautical charts.
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 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, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
