NPRM by submitting a request to the

Federal Aviation Administration,

Airspace Branch, ANM–520, 1601 Lind

Avenue SW, Renton, Washington

98055–4056. Communications must

NPRM. Persons interested in being

describes the application procedure.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal

Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) to

establish Class E airspace at Grant

County Airport, Moses Lake, WA. The

commissioning of the Automated

Surface Observing system (ASOS)

qualifies the Grant County Airport for a

Class E surface area. The FAA

establishes Class E airspace where

necessary to contain aircraft

transitioning between the terminal and

en route environments. This proposal

would allow controlled airspace

between the surface and en route

environment when the air traffic control

tower is closed.

The area would be depicted on

aeronautical charts for pilot reference.

The coordinates for this airspace docket

are based on North American Datum 83.

Class E airspace areas designated as a

surface area are published in Paragraph

6002 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. It,

therefore, (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,

when promulgated, 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

establish Class E airspace at Wilmington

Clinton Field, OH, to accommodate

aircraft executing the proposed GPS

Rwy 21 SIAP, Wilmington Clinton Field

by creating controlled airspace for 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.

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.
