The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

modify the legal description of the Class

E airspace at Hancock, MI, by removing

the statement which indicates less than

continuous times of operation for the

airspace. The legal description no longer

reflects the actual times of operation,

which are continuous. This action

would correct the legal description for

Class E airspace at Hancock, MI. Class

E airspace designations for airspace

areas designated as a surface area for an

airport are published in paragraph 6002

of FAA Order 7400.9D, dated September

4, 1996, and effective September 16,

1996, 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

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

is certified that this proposed rule will

not have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

Proposed modification of Class E

Airspace; Coshocton, OH

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This notice proposes to

modify Class E airspace at Coshocton,

OH. A Global Positioning System (GPS)

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedure (SIAP) to Runway 22 has

been developed for Richard Downing

Airport. Controlled airspace extending

upward from 700 to 1200 feet above

ground level (AGL) is needed to contain

aircraft executing the approach. This

proposal would add a northeast

extension to the existing controlled

airspace for the airport. The intended

effect of this proposal would be to

provide segregation of aircraft using

instrument approach procedures in

instrument conditions from other

aircraft operating in visual weather

conditions.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before October 14, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the

proposal in triplicate to: Federal

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

modify Class E airspace at Coshocton,

OH. This proposal would provide

adequate Class E airspace for operators

executing the GPS Runway 22 SIAP at

Richard Downing Airport by adding an

extension to the northeast to the existing

controlled airspace. Controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet

AGL is needed to contain aircraft

executing the approach. The intended

effect of this action would be to provide

segregation of aircraft using instrument

approach procedures in instrument

conditions from other aircraft operating

in visual weather conditions. The area

would be depicted on appropriate

aeronautical charts. Class E airspace

designations for airspace areas

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface of the earth are

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9D, dated September 4,

1996, and effective September 16, 1996,

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

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

is certified that this proposed rule will

not have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

Proposed Modification of the Legal

Description of Class E Airspace;

Akron, OH

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This notice proposes to

modify the legal description of Class E

airspace at Akron, OH. The current legal

description indicates less than

continuous times of operation for the

Class E airspace for Akron Fulton

International Airport. Actual times of

operation for the airspace are

continuous. The legal description must

reflect the actual times of operation.

This proposal would accurately reflect

the times of operation for the Class E

airspace at Akron, OH.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before October 27, 1997.
