The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

amend Class E surface area airspace at

Savannah, GA. Additional controlled

airspace extending upward from the

surface is needed to accommodate IFR

operations at Hunter AAF when Hunter

AAF control tower is closed. This

proposal will also make a technical

amendment to the name of the location,

changing it from Savannah International

Airport, GA, to Savannah, GA. Class E

airspace designated as surface are

published in Paragraph 6002 of FAA

order 7400.9G, dated September 1, 1999,

and effective September 16, 1999, 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. It,

therefore, (1) is not a ‘‘significant

regulatory action’’ under Executive

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant

rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies

and Procedure (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 rule,

when promulgated, will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

[Airspace Docket No. 00–AGL–02]

Proposed modification of Class E

Airspace; Marquette, MI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This action proposes to

modify Class E airspace at Marquette,

MI. An Area Navigation (RNAV)

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (Rwy) 19

has been developed for Sawyer

International Airport. Controlled

airspace extending upward from 700

feet or more above the surface of the

earth is needed to contain aircraft

executing this approach. This action

would increase that portion of the

existing Class E airspace which extends

upward from 1,200 feet above the
