Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

Distribution System, which describes 

the application procedures. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing to establish a 

Class E airspace area extending upward 

from the surface at Manchester Airport, 

5480 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 24 / Thursday, February 5, 2004 / Proposed Rules 

Manchester, NH. The purpose of this 

controlled airspace will be to provide 

for controlled airspace from the surface 

to accommodate aircraft executing 

instrument approaches and departures 

from the airport during times when the 

air traffic control town at Manchester is 

closed. The airspace in the vicinity of 

Manchester, NH is currently within a 

Class C area. In a separate action, the 

FAA will be proposing to modify the 

current Class C area to be effective only 

during those times when the air traffic 

control tower is open. When that air 

traffic control tower would be closed, 

the airspace from the surface to 700 feet 

would revert to uncontrolled airspace. 

This action is therefore necessary to 

provide for controlled airspace from the 

surface during those times when the air 

traffic control tower is closed in order 

to accommodate aircraft executing 

instrument approaches and departures 

to and from Manchester during those 

times. 

Class E airspace designations for 

airspace extending upward from the 

surface of an airport are published in 

paragraph 6002 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 airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in this Order. 

Agency Findings 

This rule does not have federalism 

implications, as defined in Executive 

Order No. 13132, because it does not 

have a substantial direct effect on the 

States, on the relationship between the 

national government and the States, or 

on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. According, the 

FAA has not consulted with state 

authorities prior to publication of this 

rule. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves a 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. For the reasons discussed in the 

preamble, I certify that this regulation 

(1) is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866; 

(2) is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under 

Department of Transportation (DOT) 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 

FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and (3) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

Regulatory Evaluation as the anticipated 

effect on these routine matters will is so 

minimal. Since this proposal will only 

affect air traffic procedures and air 

navigation, it is certified that this 

proposed rule will not have 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

Airspace, Incorporation by reference, 

Navigation (air).

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, pursuant to the 

authority delegated to me, the Federal 

Aviation Administration proposes to

1963 Comp., p. 389.

2. The incorporation by reference in 

14 CFR 71.1 of Federal Aviation 

Administration Order 7400.9L, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated September 2, 2003, and effective 

September 16, 2003, is amended as
