Amendment of Class E5 Airspace; Rockwood, TN
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument
Approach Procedure (SIAP), helicopter point in space approach, has been
developed for Harriman City Hospital, Harriman, TN. As a result,
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level
(AGL) is needed to contain the SIAP.
DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, January 23, 2003.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On October 7, 2002, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending Class E5
airspace at Rockwood, TN, (67 FR 62413). This action provides adequate
Class E5 airspace for IFR operations at Harriman City Hospital,
Harriman, TN. Designations for Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet or more above the surface are published in FAA Order 74009.K,
dated August 30, 2002, and effective September 16, 2002, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class E designation
listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
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 amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) amends Class E5 airspace at Rockwood, TN.
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.
It, therefore, (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 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).
