DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 94-AWP-25]
Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Red Bluff and Redding, CA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This proposal would modify the Class E airspace at Red Bluff,
CA, and Redding, CA. Additional controlled airspace designated as a
surface area for an airport and extending from 700 feet or more above
the surface is necessary for three Standard Instrument Approach
Procedures (SIAPs) at the Red Bluff Municipal Airport. These three
SIAPs are being amended to incorporate the use of the Redding altimeter
setting for part-time use. This proposal would provide the controlled
airspace necessary for the VHF Omnidirectional Range/Distant Measuring
Equipment (VOR/DME), VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR), and
Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB) SIAPs at the Red Bluff Municipal
Airport.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 20, 1995.

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify the Class E airspace
areas at Red Bluff, CA, and Redding, CA. This proposed action would
provide additional controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR) procedures at the Red Bluff Municipal Airport, specifically, the
VOR RWY 33, VOR/DME RWY 15, and NDB RWY 33 approach to Red Bluff, CA.
The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American
Datum 83. Class E airspace areas designated as transition areas for
airports are published in Paragraph 6002 and Paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.9B dated July 18, 1994, and effective September 16, 1994,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designations listed in this document would be published subsequently in
the Order.
The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed 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, when promulgated,
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
