Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 77 /Wednesday, April 22, 1998 / Proposed Rules 19857

Class E airspace at Fort Atkinson, WI, to

accommodate aircraft executing the

proposed GPS Rwy 03 SIAP, at Fort

Atkinson Municipal Airport by

increasing the radius of the controlled

airspace for the airport. Controlled

airspace extending upward from 700 to

1,200 feet AGL is needed to contain

aircraft executing the approach. The

area would be depicted on appropriate

aeronautical charts. 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

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 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.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to modify

Class E airspace at Griffith, IN, to

accommodate aircraft executing the

proposed GPS Rwy 26 SIAP, at GriffithMerrillville Airport by adding an

eastern extension to the existing

controlled airspace at the airport.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 to 1200 feet AGL is needed to

contain aircraft executing the approach.

The area would be depicted on

appropriate aeronautical charts. 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

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.

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
