SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On July 10, 2007, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 Code of 
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E airspace 
at Lady Lake, FL, (72 FR 37488). This action provides adequate Class E 
airspace for IFR operations at Suwannee Hospital Emergency Heliport, 
Live Oak, FL. Designations for Class E airspace areas extending upward 
from 700 feet or more above the surface of the Earth are published in 
FAA Order 7400.9P, dated September 1, 2006, and effective September 15, 
2006, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class 
E designations listed in this document will be published subsequently 
in the Order.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments objecting to the proposal were received.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 establishes Class E airspace at Live Oak, FL, to provide 
controlled airspace required to support the new Area navigation (RNAV) 
Global Positioning system (GPS) helicopter point in space approach at 
Suwannee hospital Emergency Heliport.
    The FAA has determined that his 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.
