The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to modify 

Class D airspace at Grissom AFB, IN. 

Controlled airspace extending upward 

from the surface of the earth is needed 

to contain aircraft executing instrument 

approach procedures. The area would 

be depicted on appropriate aeronautical 

charts. Class D airspace areas extending 

upward from the surface of the earth are 

published in paragraph 5000 of FAA 

Order 7400.9L dated September 2, 2003, 

and effective September 16, 2003, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E designations listed in 

this document would be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

establishment body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 

Therefore this, proposed 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 proposed rule will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.
