The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class E airspace at
Medford, Oregon to accommodate an amended instrument approach procedure
and missed approach holding pattern at Medford-Jackson County Airport.
The area would be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference.
The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American
Datum 83. Class E airspace designations for airspace areas are
published in paragraphs 6004 and 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9A dated June
17, 1993, and effective September 16, 1993, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1 as of September 16, 1993 (58 FR 36298; July 6,
1993). The Class E 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.
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, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
