Availability of NPRM’s

Any person may obtain a copy of this

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)

by submitting a request to the Federal

Aviation Administration, Office of

Public Affairs, Attention: Public Inquiry

Center, APA–230, 800 Independence

Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591, or

by calling (202) 267-3484.

Communications must identify the

notice number of this NPRM. Persons

interested in being placed on a mailing

list for future NPRM’s 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 modify

Class E airspace at Ashtabula, OH, to

accommodate aircraft executing the GPS

Runway 08 SIAP at Ashtabula County

Airport by increasing the radius of the

existing controlled airspace for the

airport. Controlled airspace extending

upward from 700 to 1200 feet AGL is

needed to contain aircraft executing the

approach. 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 7400.9E 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.

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.

[Airspace Docket No. 97–AGL–18]

Proposed Establishment of Class E

Airspace; Cooperstown, ND

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.

SUMMARY: This action withdraws the

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)

which proposed to establish Class E

airspace at Cooperstown, ND. The

NPRM is being withdrawn because it

failed to accurately describe the full

scope of the intended airspace action. A

new NPRM will be issued at a

subsequent date.

DATES: The withdrawal is made October

31, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Proposed Rule

On May 21, 1997, a Notice of

Proposed Rulemaking was published in

the Federal Register to establish Class E

airspace at Cooperstown, ND, to

accommodate a GPS Runway 13 SIAP

and a GPS Runway 31 SIAP for

Cooperstown Municipal Airport (62 FR

27705). The NPRM did not accurately

describe the full scope of the intended

airspace action; therefore it is being

withdrawn. A new NPRM will be issued

at a subsequent date.

Summary of Comments

No comments were received.

Conclusion

In consideration of the inaccurate

description of the intended airspace

action for Cooperstown Municipal

Airport, action is being taken to

withdraw the proposed establishment of

Class E airspace at Cooperstown, ND. A

new NPRM will be issued at a

subsequent date.
