public contact with FAA personnel

concerned with this rulemaking will be

filed in the docket.

Availability of NPRMs

Any person may obtain a copy of this

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)

by submitting a request to the Federal

Aviation Administration, Manager,

Airspace Branch, ASO–520, Air Traffic

Division, P.O. Box 20636, Atlanta,

Georgia 30320. Communications must

identify the docket number of this

NPRM. Persons interested in being

placed on a mailing list for future

NPRMs should also request a copy of

Advisory Circular No. 11–2A 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 D airspace at Boca Raton,

FL. Air traffic controllers at Boca Raton

Airport, FL, are being certificated as

weather observors. Therefore, the

airport will meet criteria for Class D

airspace. Class D surface area airspace is

required when the control tower is open

to accommodate current SIAPs and for

IFR operations at the airport. Class D

airspace designations for airspace areas

extending upward from the surface are

published in Paragraph 5000 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 D 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 Title 14 Code of Federal

Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by

modifying Class E airspace at Duchesne,

UT, in order to accommodate required

airspace for the establishment of a new

instrument approach to Duchesne

Municipal Airport, Duchesne, UT. This

airspace modification would establish

700 foot airspace above the surface of

the airport with a 6 nautical mile radius.

The FAA establishes Class E airspace

where necessary to contain aircraft

transitioning between the terminal and

en route environments. The intended

effect of this proposal is designed to

provide for the safe and efficient use of

the navigable airspace. This proposal

would promote safe flight operations

under Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) at

the Duchense Municipal Airport and

between the terminal and en route

transition stages.

The area would be depicted on

aeronautical charts for pilot reference.

The coordinates of this airspace docket

are based on North American Datum 83.

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 7400.0G 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

therefore, (1) is not a ‘‘significant
