Availability of NPRMs 

Any person may obtain a copy of this 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 

by submitting a request to the Office of 

the Regional Counsel, AEA–7, FAA 

Eastern Region 1, Aviation Plaza, 

Jamaica, NY 11434–4809. 

Communications must identify the 

notice 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 Griffiss 

AFB, Rome, NY. The protection of an 

activated Control Tower makes this 

action necessary. That airspace would 

extend from the surface to and 

including 3,200 feet MSL within a 4.5 

mile radius of the Griffiss Airfield, 

Rome, NY, and within 2 miles each side 

of bearing 135°/315° from a point at Lat 

43°14.03′ N, Long 75°24.42′ W, 

extending from the 4.5 mile radius zone, 

to a point 6 miles NW and 6 miles SE 

of the airport. The class D airspace area 

would be effective during the specific 

dates and times established in advance 

by a notice to airmen. The effective date 

and time would thereafter be 

continuously published in the Airport/ 

Facility Directory. Class D airspace 

designations for airspace areas 

extending upward from the surface to 

and including 3,200 feet MSL are 

published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA 

Order 7400.9P, dated September 1, 

2006, and effective September 16, 2006, 

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. 

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 would only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this proposed rule 

would not have significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities under the criteria of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: This notice proposes to 

establish Class E–2 airspace at Griffiss 

Airfield, Rome, NY. The opening of a 

tower and for the protection of 

instrument approaches make this action 

necessary. Controlled airspace 

extending upward from the surface to 

the base of the overlying controlled 

airspace is needed to contain aircraft 

executing an approach. The area would 

be depicted on aeronautical charts for 

pilot reference.

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Part 71 of the Federal 

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) to 

establish Class E–2 airspace at Griffiss 

Airfield, Rome, NY. The opening of a 

tower and for the protection of 

Instrument Approaches makes this 

action necessary. Controlled airspace 

extending upward from the surface to 

the base of the overlying controlled 

airspace is needed to accommodate the 

SIAPs. The class E–2 airspace area 

would be effective during the specific 

dates and times established in advance 

by a notice to airmen. The effective date 

and time would thereafter be 

continuously published in the Airport/ 

Facility Directory. Class E–2 airspace 

designations for airspace areas 

extending upward from the surface of 

the earth are published in Paragraph 

6002 of FAA Order 7400.9P, dated 

September 1, 2006, and effective 

September 16, 2006, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E–2 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, this proposed regulation, (1) 

is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not
