SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On August 15, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend Part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) by establishing a Class E
airspace area at Grundy Municipal Airport, Grundy, VA (61 FR 42397).
The development of a GPS RWY 22 SIAP at Grundy Municipal Airport has
made this action necessary.
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. Class E airspace
areas designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9D, dated September 4, 1996, and effective September 16, 1996,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. 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) establishes a Class E airspace area at Grundy, VA. The
development of a GPS RWY 22 SIAP at Grundy Municipal Airport has made
this action necessary. The intended effect of this action is to provide
adequate Class E airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 22 SIAP at
the 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.
Therefore, this regulation--(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 10034, 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 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
