The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish additional class E5
airspace in the vicinity of Hazelton, PA. The intended effect of this
proposal is to lower the floor of controlled airspace in this vicinity
from 1,200 feet to 700 feet above ground level for IFR operations at
the airport. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on
North American Datum 83. Class E5 airspace designations are published
in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9A, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, 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 E5 airspace designation listed in this
document would be published subsequently in the 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.
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 impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that, when promulgated, 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.
