[Airspace Docket No. 93-ANE-76]
Proposed Establishment of Class E Airspace; Claremont, NH
agency: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
action: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
summary: This notice proposes to establish Class E airspace at
Claremont, NH. A review of a proposed nondirectional beacon (NDB)
standard instrument approach procedure (SIAP) for Claremont Airport
shows a need for controlled airspace upward from 700 feet above the
surface to contain instrument flight rules (IFR) operations executing
that NDB SIAP at the airport. The intended effect of this proposal is
to provide adequate Class E airspace for IFR operators who will be
executing the proposed NDB SIAP at Claremont, NH.
dates: Comments must be received on or before April 14, 1994.

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace at
Claremont, NH. A nondirectional beacon (NDB) standard instrument
approach procedure (SIAP) is proposed for the Claremont Airport and
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface is
needed to contain IFR operations executing that NDB SIAP at the
airport. The intended effect of this proposal is to provide adequate
Class E airspace for IFR operators executing the proposed NDB
instrument approach at Claremont Airport. The coordinates for this
airspace docket are based on North American Datum 83. Class E airspace
areas extending from 700 feet above the surface are published in
Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9A, dated June 17, 1993, and effective
September 16, 1993, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1
(58 FR 36298; July 6, 1993). The Class E airspace designations listed
in this document would be published subsequently in the Order.
The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation involves only
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep these regulations
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 economic cost will be so
minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, the FAA certifies that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
