Reference Point coordinates. The effect of this rule is to provide
appropriate controlled Class E airspace for aircraft departing from and
executing instrument approach procedures to Gould Peterson Municipal
Airport, Tarkio, MO and to segregate aircraft using instrument approach
procedures in instrument conditions from aircraft operating in visual
conditions.
DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, December 20, 2007. The Director of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Wednesday, August 22, 2007, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E
airspace at Tarkio, MO (72 FR 46931). The proposal was to establish a
Class E5 airspace area to bring Tarkio, MO airspace into compliance
with FAA directives. 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.
The Rule
This rule amends part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) by establishing a Class E airspace area extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface at Gould Peterson Municipal Airport,
Tarkio, MO and corrects the Airport Reference Point coordinates. The
establishment of Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS)
Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP) have made this action necessary.
The intended effect of this action is to provide adequate controlled
airspace for Instrument Flight Rules operations at Gould Peterson
Municipal Airport, Tarkio, MO. The area will be depicted on appropriate
aeronautical charts.
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
7400.9R, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, signed August 15,
2007, and effective September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. of the same Order. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the Order.
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
[[Page 62112]]
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 will not have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
since it contains aircraft executing instrument approach procedures to
Gould Peterson Municipal Airport, Tarkio, MO.
