Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)

by submitting a request to the Federal

Aviation Administration, Manager,

Airspace Branch, ASO–520, Air Traffic

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 14 CFR part 71 to

establish Class E airspace at St. Elmo,

AL. A GPS RWY 6 SIAP has been

developed for St. Elmo Airport.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet AGL is needed to

accommodate the SIAP and for IFR

operations at St. Elmo Airport. The

operating status of the airport will

change from VFR to include IFR

operations concurrent with the

publication of the SIAP. Class E airspace

designations for airspace areas

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface are published in

Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9E

dated September 10, 1997, and effective

September 16, 1997, 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. 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.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal

Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR 71) to

amend Class E airspace at Powell, WY.

This amendment is necessary in order to

fully contain a new GPS SIAP within

controlled airspace located at

Yellowstone Regional Airport. The

existing 1200-foot Class E airspace,

overlying the Yellowstone Regional

Airport, is part of the Powell, WY,

airspace description and requires

modification to fully encompass the

holding procedures for the new SIAP.

The revision to the existing 1200-foot

Class E airspace will be an extension to

the south from approximately 6 to 26

nautical miles, thus fully encompassing

the new SIAP.

The area would be depicted on

aeronautical charts for pilot reference.

The coordinates for this airspace docket

are based on North American Datum 83.

Class E airspace areas extending upward

from 700 feet or more above the surface

of the earth are published in Paragraph

6005 of FAA Order 7400.9E, dated

September 10, 1997, and effective

September 16, 1997, 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. It,

therefore, (1) is not a ‘‘significant
