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 at Livingston,

TN.A GPS SIAP, helicopter point in

space approach, has been developed for

Livingston Community Hospital,

Livingston, TN. Additional controlled

airspace extending upward from 700

feet AGL is needed to accommodate 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 7400.9G, 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 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 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.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to modify

Class E airspace at Marquette, MI, by

increasing that portion of the existing

Class E airspace which extends upward

from 1,200 feet above the surface of the

earth for Sawyer International Airport.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet or more above the surface

of the earth is needed to contain

airspace 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 10, 1999, and effective

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.
