West Virginia. The airport has a VOR or GPS-A (circling) Standard
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP), an NDB or GPS RWY 4 SIAP and an
ILS RWY 4 SIAP. Class E2 airspace would be established to accommodate
these SIAPs and for instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at this
airport.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 29, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Send comments on the rule in triplicate to: Manager, System
Management Branch, AEA-530, Docket No. 95-AEA-12, F.A.A. Eastern

Availability of NPRMs
Any person may obtain a copy of this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM) by submitting a request to the Office of the Assistant Chief
Counsel, AEA-7, F.A.A. Eastern Region, Federal Building # 111, John F.

The Proposal
The FAA is considering amending part 71 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class E2 airspace,
designated as a surface area for an airport, at Lewisburg, WV, to
accommodate current SIAPs and for IFR operations at the Greenbrier
Valley Airport.
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.
Class E2 airspace areas designated as a surface area for an airport are
published in Paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9C, dated August 17, 1995
and effective September 16, 1995. The Class E airspace designation
listed in this document would be published subsequently in the Order.
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 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 would not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
