20070 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 78 /Thursday, April 23, 1998 /Rules and Regulations

to modify Class E airspace at

Springfield, IL (63 FR 7327). The

proposal was to add controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet

AGL to contain Instrument Flight Rules

(IFR) operations in controlled airspace

during portions of the terminal

operation and while transiting between

the enroute and terminal environments.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments objecting to the proposal

were received. 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 7400.9E

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 will be

published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71

modifies Class E airspace at Springfield,

IL, to accommodate aircraft executing

the ILS Rwy 31 SIAP, Amendment 1,

and IFR operations at Capital Airport by

increasing the radius of the existing

controlled airspace. The area will be

depicted on appropriate aeronautical

charts.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation only involves an established

body of technical regulations for which

frequent and routine amendments are

necessary to keep them operationally

current. Therefore, this 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 rule will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.
