New Class E Airspace at Lane Airpark
If you fly at or near Lane Airpark in Rosenberg, TX, the FAA proposes new Class E airspace that starts at 700 feet above the surface and extends within a 6.5-mile radius of the airport. The change is meant to support new instrument procedures and instrument flight rule (IFR) operations at Lane Airpark.
FAA Says Minimal Small-Business Impact
The FAA states this proposed rule is not a "significant regulatory action" under Executive Order 12866 and certifies it "will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities" under the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The agency says the anticipated impact is minimal because the rule only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation.
