Proposed Modification of Class E 

Airspace; Palm Springs, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: This notice proposes to 

modify the Class E airspace area at Palm

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 by 

modifying the Class E airspace area at 

Palm Springs International Airport, 

Palm Springs, CA. The establishment of 

a RNAV (RNP) Y IAP to RWY 13R at 

Palm Springs International Airport has 

made this proposal necessary. 

Additional controlled airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface is needed to contain aircraft 

executing the RNAV (RNP) Y IAP to 

RWY 13R at Palm Springs International 

Airport has made this proposal 

necessary. The intended effect of this 

proposal is to provide adequate 

controlled airspace for aircraft executing 

the RNAV (RNP) Y IAP to RWY 13R at 

Palm Springs International Airport, 

Palm Springs, CA. Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

6005 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 E airspace designation 

listed in this document would be 

published subsequently in this Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regualtions for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 

Therefore, this proposed regualtion—(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 

would not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities under the criteria of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

captured and included as part of the

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses.
