The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend the Class E airspace
area at Jasper, GA, to include the Cherokee County Airport at Canton,
GA, which has a NDB RWY 4 SIAP. Additional controlled airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface (AGL) is needed to
accommodate this SIAP and for IFR operations at the Cherokee County
Airport. Class E Airspace designations for airspace areas 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, 1995, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation 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.
