The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to modify

Class E airspace at Youngstown, OH, by

increasing the width of the northerly

extension and increasing the radius of

the existing Class E airspace for

Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet above the surface is

needed to contain aircraft executing

instrument approach procedures. The

area would be depicted on appropriate

aeronautical charts. 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 7400.9H dated September 1, 2000,

and effective September 16, 2000, which

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class E designations listed in

this document would be published

subsequently in the Order.

The FAA has determined that this

proposed regulation only involves an

establishment 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 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.

Proposed Modification of Class E

Airspace; Cleveland, OH; Modification

of Class E Airspace; Medina, OH; and

Revocation of Class E Airspace; Elyria,

OH

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This action proposes to

modify Class E airspace at Cleveland,

OH; modify Class E airspace at Medina,

OH; and remove Class E airspace at

Elyria, OH. An Instrument Landing

System (ILS) Standard Instrument

Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway

(Rwy) 28 has been developed for

Cleveland-Hopkins International

Airport. Controlled airspace extending

upward from 700 feet above the surface

is needed to contain aircraft executing

this approach. This action would

increase the existing Class E airspace for

Cleveland-Hopkins International

Airport and at the same time simplify

the extremely complicated existing

Class E airspace legal description.

Redefining the Class E airspace for

Cleveland, OH, would then include the

Class E airspace for Elyria, OH. This

action would remove the existing Class

E airspace for Elyria, OH. Finally, this
