Proposed Establishment of Class E

Airspace; Craig, Colorado

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

establish Class E airspace at Craig,

Colorado, to accommodate a new GPS

SIAP to the Craig-Moffat Airport.

Additionally, this proposed action

would correct the airport name, and

eliminate confusion, by removing the

existing Class E5 airspace currently

listed under the text header of Hayden,

Colorado (Hayden, Craig-Moffat

Airport). This proposed action would

ensure that correct references to airports

are made, as described in the Airport/

Facility Directory, and to accurately

distinguish between the classes of

airspace associated with Craig,

Colorado, and Hayden, Colorado. 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 7400.9D

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. 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

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

revise the Class E airspace area at San

Francisco, CA. This action would

revoke the surface area for Alameda

NAS (Nimitz Field), CA. A review of

airspace classification and air traffic

procedures has made this action

necessary. The intended effect of this

action is to revoke controlled airspace

since the purpose and requirements for

the surface area no longer exist at

Alameda NAS (Nimitz Field), CA. Class

E airspace areas 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 this 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 10034; 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

would not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.
