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.

[Airspace Docket No. 97–AGL–41]

Modification of the Legal Description

of Class E Airspace; Hancock, MI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies the legal

description of Class E airspace at

Hancock, MI. The current legal

description indicates less than

continuous times of operation for the

Class E airspace for Houghton County

Memorial Airport. Actual times of

operation for the airspace are

continuous. The legal description must

reflect the actual times of operation.

This action will accurately reflect the

actual times of operation for the Class E

airspace at Hancock, MI.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, February 26,

1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On Thursday, September 11, 1997, the

FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71

to modify the legal description of the

Class E airspace at Hancock, MI (62 FR

47777). The proposal was to change the

legal description to accurately reflect

the existing continuous times of

operation for the airspace.

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. Class E airspace

designated as a surface area are

published in paragraph 6002 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 will

be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71

modifies 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 actual times of

operation for the Class E airspace at

Hancock, MI, are continuous.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation only involves an established

body of technical regulations for which

frequent and routine amendments are

necessary to keep them operationally

current. Therefore, this 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 rule will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

Positioning System (GPS) Standard

Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP)

to Runway 22 has been developed for

Richard Downing Airport. Controlled

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On Thursday, September 11, 1997, the

FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71

to modify the Class E airspace at

Coshocton, OH (62 FR 47778). The

proposal was to add controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet

AGL to contain Instrument Flight Rules

(IFR) operations in controlled airspace

during portions of the terminal

operation and while transiting between

the enroute and terminal environments.

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. 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 will

be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71

modifies Class E airspace at Coshocton,

OH, to accommodate aircraft executing

the GPS Runway 22 SIAP at Richard

Downing Airport by adding a northeast

extension to the existing controlled

airspace. Controlled airspace extending

upward from 700 to 1200 feet AGL is

needed to contain aircraft executing the

approach. The area will be depicted on

appropriate aeronautical charts.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation only involves an established

body of technical regulations for which

frequent and routine amendments are

necessary to keep them operationally

current. Therefore, this regulation—(1)

is not at ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT
