The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to modify the
Class E airspace area at Globe, AZ. Additional controlled airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface is needed to contain
aircraft
[[Page 8153]]
executing the GPS RWY 27 SIAP at Globe-San Carlos Regional Airport. The
intended effect of this proposal is to provide adequate controlled
airspace for IFR operations at Globe-San Carlos Regional Airport,
Globe, AZ. 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 7400.9E, dated September 10,
1997, and effective September 16, 1997, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in
this document would be published subsequently in this 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.
