The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to Part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) to

amend the Class E airspace area at

Bedford, PA. A GPS RWY 14 SIAP and

a GPS RWY 32 SIAP has been

developed for the Bedford County

Airport. Additional controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet above

the surface (AGL) is needed to

accommodate these SIAPs and for IFR

operations at the airport. 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 7400.9D,

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.

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 would only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this proposed rule

would not have significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

provide adequate Class E airspace for

aircraft executing the GPS RWY 21/3

SIAP at Cochise County Airport,

Willcox, AZ. Class E airspace

designations for airspace areas

extending upward from 700 feet or more

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9D dated September 4, 1996,
