Availability of NPRMs

Any person may obtain a copy of this

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)

NPRM. Persons interested in being

placed on a mailing list for future

describes the application procedure.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) to

amend Class E airspace at Lexington,

KY. 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 7400.9H, dated September 1,

2000, and effective September 16, 2000,

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.
