Federal Register / Vol. 70, No.
46 / Thursday, March 10, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
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
Ames Municipal Airport.

ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: This rule establishes a Class
E surface area at Ankeny, IA. It also
modifies the Class E airspace area
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Ankeny, IA.
The effect of this rule is to provide
appropriate controlled Class E airspace
for aircraft departing from and executing
instrument approach procedures to
Ankeny Regional Airport and to
segregate aircraft using instrument
approach procedures in instrument
conditions from aircraft operating in
visual conditions.
DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, May 12,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Wednesday, January 19, 2005, the
FAA proposed to amend Part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR
part 71) to establish a Class E surface
area and to modify other Class E
airspace at Ankeny, IA (70 FR 2991) and
subsequently published a correction to
the proposal on Monday, February 7,
bring Ankeny, IA airspace areas 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

The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71
establishes Class E airspace designated
as a surface area for an airport at
Ankeny, IA. Controlled airspace
extending upward from the surface of
the earth is needed to contain aircraft
executing instrument approach
procedures to Ankeny Regional Airport.
Weather observations will be provided
by an Automatic Weather Observing/
Reporting System (AWOS) and
communications will be direct with Des
Moines Terminal Radar Approach
Control Facility.
This rule also revises the Class E
airspace area extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Ankeny,
IA. An examination of this airspace area
revealed there is inadequate controlled
airspace to protect for diverse
departures. The examination also
identified that the north extension is
unnecessary and the northeast extension
does not comply with FAA airspace
directives. These discrepancies are
corrected by expanding the area from a
7-mile to a 7.1-mile radius of Ankeny
Regional Airport, eliminating the north
extension, modifying the northeast
extension and defining airspace of
appropriate dimensions to protect
aircraft departing and executing
instrument approach procedures to
Ankeny Regional Airport. The airspace
area is brought into compliance with
FAA Orders 7400.2E, Procedures for
Handling Airspace Matters, and
8260.19C, Flight Procedures and
Airspace. Both areas will be depicted on
appropriate aeronautical charts.
Class E airspace areas designated as
surface areas are published in Paragraph
6002 of FAA Order 7400.9M, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated August 30, 2004, and effective
September 16, 2004, which is
incorporated by reference in 14
CFR71.1. Class E airspace areas
extending upward from 700 feet or more
above the surface of the earth are
published in Paragraph 6005 of the
same Order. The Class E airspace
designations 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
