The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to

establish Class E airspace at Richland

Center, WI, to accommodate aircraft

executing the proposed GPS SIAP, 168°

helicopter point in space approach, for

Richland Center Hospital Heliport by

creating controlled airspace. 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

proposal 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 Title 14 Code of Federal

Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) to

revise Class E airspace at Pueblo, CO.

This amendment would provide

additional airspace necessary to fully

encompass the GPS Runway 8L and the

GPS Runway 26L SIAPs to the Pueblo

Memorial Airport, Pueblo, CO. This

amendment proposes to add a small

1200-foot Class E area extension to the

east in order to accommodate a holding

pattern for the SIAPs. The holding

pattern is required to meet necessary

airspace criteria for aircraft transitioning

between the terminal and en route

environments. The FAA establishes

Class E airspace extending upward from

700 feet AGL where necessary to

contain aircraft transitioning between

the terminal and en route environments.

The intended effect of this proposal is

designed to provide safe and efficient

use of the navigable airspace and to

promote safe flight operations under IFR

at the Pueblo Memorial Airport and

between the terminal and en route

transition stages.

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 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. It,

therefore, (1) is not a ‘‘significant

regulatory action’’ under Executive

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant
