SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On July 17, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing a Class E
airspace area at Placerville Airport, Placerville, CA. (60 FR 36372).
The development of a GPS SIAP at Placerville Airport has made this
action necessary.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments to the proposal were received. Class E airspace
designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9C,
dated August 17, 1995, and effective September 16, 1995, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in
this Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) establishes a Class E airspace area at Placerville, CA.
The development of a GPS SIAP at Placerville Airport has made this
action necessary. The intended effect of this action is to provide
adequate Class E airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 5 SIAP at
Placerville Airport, Placerville, CA.
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 10034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a
[[Page 48024]]
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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
