Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 77 /Wednesday, April 22, 1998 / Proposed Rules 19855

180 airplanes of the same type design

that are registered in the United States

was published in the Federal Register

as a notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM) on February 2, 1998 (63 FR

5320). The NPRM proposed to require

installing a shield on the front section

of the engine cradles.

Interested persons have been afforded

an opportunity to participate in the

making of this amendment. No

comments were received on the

proposed rule or the FAA’s

determination of the cost to the public.

AD 96–09–09, Amendment 39–9585

(61 FR 19808, May 3, 1996), currently

requires the same action as is proposed

in this NPRM. The FAA inadvertently

prepared and issued this NPRM. Since

the NPRM, if followed with a final rule,

would duplicate actions already

required in an existing AD, the FAA has

decided that the NPRM should be

withdrawn.

Withdrawal of this NPRM constitutes

only such action, and does not preclude

the agency from issuing future

rulemaking on this issue, nor does it

commit the agency to any course of

action in the future.

Since this action only withdraws an

NPRM, it is neither a proposed nor a

final rule and therefore, is not covered

under Executive Order 12866, the

Regulatory Flexibility Act, or DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11034, February 26, 1979).

The Withdrawal

Accordingly, the notice of proposed

rulemaking, Docket No. 97–CE–147–AD,

published in the Federal Register on

February 2, 1998 (63 FR 5320), is

withdrawn.

Issued in Kansas City, Missouri, on April

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to modify

Class E airspace at Youngstown Elser

Metro Airport, OH, to accommodate

aircraft executing the proposed GPS

Rwy 28 SIAP, at the 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
19856 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 77 /Wednesday, April 22, 1998 / Proposed Rules

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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

Airspace, Incorporation by reference,

Navigation (air).

The Proposed Amendment

Accordingly, pursuant to the

authority delegated to me, the Federal

Aviation Administration proposes to

amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A,

CLASS B, CLASS C, CLASS D, AND

CLASS E AIRSPACE AREAS;

1963 Comp., p. 389.

§ 71.1 [Amended]

2. The incorporation by reference in

14 CFR 71.1 of the Federal Aviation

Administration Order 7400.9E, Airspace

dated September 10, 1997, and effective

within 4.0 miles either side of the 108°

bearing from the airport, extending from the

6.4-mile radius to 8.8 miles east of the

airport, excluding that airspace within the

Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport, OH,

Class E airspace area, and excluding that

airspace within the New Castle, PA, Class E
