The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 72 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace,
extending upward from the surface as an extension to the Class D
airspace at Drake Field, Fayetteville, AR. Additionally, the FAA is
considering an amendment to the Class E airspace, controlled airspace
extending upward from 700 feet AGL, which currently overlies Drake
Field, Fayetteville, AR. The development of a new MLS SIAP to RWY 34
has made this proposal to establish Class E airspace and to amend
existing Class E Airspace necessary. The intended effect of this
proposal is to provide adequate Class E airspace for aircraft executing
the MLS SIAP to RWY 34 at Drake Field, Fayetteville, AR.
The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. Class E airspace area designated as an extension to
a Class D surface area are published in Paragraph 6004 and designated
Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet or more above
ground level are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9B dated
July 18, 1994, and effective September 16, 1994, which is incorporated
by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 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 that need frequent and
routine amendments 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 impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
