ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

GA, to accommodate a NDB RWY 04 Standard Instrument Approach Procedure
(SIAP) at Canton, GA, for the Cherokee County Airport. Additional
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On November 24, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by modifying Class E
airspace at Jasper, GA (60 FR 58021). This action would provide
adequate Class E airspace for IFR operations at the Cherokee County
Airport.
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. Designations for
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the
surface are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9C dated
August 17, 1995, and effective September 16, 1996. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) modifies Class E airspace at Jasper, GA, to accommodate a
NDB RWY 04 SIAP and for IFR operations at Canton, GA, for the Cherokee
County Airport.
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).
