    SUMMARY: This notice modifies Class E airspace at Kokomo, IN. A Global 
    Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) 
    to Runway (Rwy) 09, and a GPS SIAP to Rwy 27, have been developed for 
    Logansport Municipal Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward from 
    700 to 1200 feet above ground level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft 
    executing the approaches. This action increases the radius of the 
    existing controlled airspace for this airport.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, September 9, 1999.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    History
    
        On Monday, April 5, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 
    to modify Class E airspace at Kokomo, IN (64 FR 16371). The proposal 
    was to add controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet 
    AGL to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations in controlled 
    airspace during portions of the terminal operation and while transiting 
    between the enroute and terminal environments.
        Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
    proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
    No comments objecting to the proposal were received. 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 7400.9F dated September 10, 1998, and effective September 16, 
    1998, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 
    airspace designation listed in this document will be published 
    subsequently in the Order.
    
    The Rule
    
        This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies Class E airspace at 
    Kokomo, IN, to accommodate aircraft executing the proposed GPS Rwy 09 
    SIAP, and the GPS Rwy 27 SIAP, at Logansport Municipal Airport by 
    modifying the existing controlled airspace. The area will be depicted 
    on appropriate aeronautical charts.
        The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an 
    established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
    routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
    Therefore, this 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 rule will not have a significant economic impact on 
    a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
    Regulatory Flexibility Act.
