    SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace at Youngstown Elser 
    Metro Airport, OH. A Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard 
    Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (Rwy) 28 has been 
    developed for Youngstown Elser Metro Airport. Controlled airspace 
    extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet above ground level (AGL) is 
    needed to contain aircraft executing the approach. This action adds an 
    extension to the east for the existing controlled airspace for 
    Youngstown Elser Metro Airport.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, October 08, 1998.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    History
    
        On Wednesday, April 22, 1998, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 
    71 to modify Class E airspace at Youngstown Elser Metro Airport, OH (63 
    FR 19855). 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 7400.9E 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 will be published 
    subsequently in the Order.
    
    The Rule
    
        This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies Class E airspace at 
    Youngstown Elser Metro Airport, OH, to accommodate aircraft executing 
    the proposed GPS Rwy 28 SIAP at Youngstown Elser Metro Airport by 
    adding an extension to the east for the existing controlled airspace 
    for the airport. 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.
