change is proposed to improve the 

safety of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 

aircraft executing the new RNAV GPS 

SIAP at Burns Municipal Airport.

Proposed Rulemaking Distribution 

System, which describes the application 

procedures. 

The Proposal 

This action proposed to amend Title 

14 Code of Federal Regulations, part 71 

(14 CFR part 71) by revising Class E 

airspace at Burns Municipal Airport, 

Burns, OR. The establishment of a new 

RNAV GPS SIAP requires additional 

Class E controlled airspace. This 

additional Class E airspace is necessary 

for the safety of IFR aircraft executing 

the new RNAV GPS SIAP Burns 

Municipal Airport. Controlled airspace 

is necessary where there is a 

requirement for IFR services, which 

includes arrival, departures, and 

transitioning to/from the terminal or en 

route environment. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9M dated August 30, 2004, 

and effective September 16, 2004, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designation listed in this document will 

be published subsequently in this 

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. 

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 effect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this proposed rule 

would not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities under the criteria of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

11–2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

Distribution System, which describes 

the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Part 71 of the Federal 

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) to 

establish Class E airspace area at 

Mifflintown, PA. The development of a 

SIAP to serve flights operating IFR into 

Mifflintown Airport makes this action 

necessary. Controlled airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet AGL is 

needed to accommodate aircraft using 

the SIAP. Class E airspace designations 

for airspace areas extending upward 

from 700 feet or more above the surface 

are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9M, dated August 30, 2004, 

and effective September 16, 2004, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E 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. 

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 would only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this proposed rule
