Distribution System, which describes 

the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

This notice proposes to amend part 71 

of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 

CFR part 71) by establishing a Class D 

airspace area extending upward from 

the surface to and including 3,600 feet 

above sea level within a 3.7-mile radius 

of Fort Riley, Marshall Army Airfield, 

KS. The establishment of an air traffic 

control tower has made this action 

necessary. The intended effect of this 

proposal is to provide controlled 

airspace for flight operations at Fort 

Riley, Marshall Army Airfield, KS. The 

area would be depicted on appropriate 

aeronautical charts. 

Class D airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 

7400.9N, dated September 1, 2005, and 

effective September 16, 2005, 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. 

This proposed rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of the airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This proposed regulation is 

within the scope of that authority since 

it would contain flight operations at 

Fort Riley, Marshall Army Airfield, KS.

202–267–9677, for a copy of Advisory 

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 by revising Class E 

airspace at Saratoga, WY. Additional 

Class E airspace is necessary for the 

safety of IFR aircraft executing the new 

RNAV, GPS approach procedure at 

Saratoga/Shively Field, Saratoga, WY. 

Controlled airspace is necessary where 

there is a requirement for IFR services, 

which include arrival, departure, and 

transitioning to/from the terminal or en 

route environment. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9N, dated September 1, 

2005, and effective September 15, 2005, 

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 affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it
