The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to modify

Class E airspace at Ionia, MI, for Ionia

County Airport. Controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface of the earth is needed

to contain aircraft executing instrument

approach procedures. The area would

be depicted on appropriate aeronautical

charts. Class E airspace areas extending

upward from 700 feet or more above the

surface of the earth are published in

paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9G

dated September 1, 1999, and effective

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 80 / Tuesday, April 25, 2000 / Proposed Rules 24141

September 16, 1999, 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.
