The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to Part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to provide additional controlled
airspace for a new SIAP based on the GPS at the Arthur N. Neu Airport.
The additional airspace would segregate aircraft operating under VFR
conditions from aircraft operating under IFR procedures. The area would
be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts thereby enabling pilots
to circumnavigate the area or otherwise comply with IFR procedures.
Class E airspace designations for airspace areas extending upward from
700 feet or more above the surface of the earth 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.
Therefore, this proposed 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 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 proposed rule will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
