The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 by

establishing a Class E airspace area at

Safford, AZ. The development of a GPS

RWY 12 and GPS 30 SIAP at Safford

Municipal Airport has made this

proposal necessary. Additional

controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet above the surface is

needed to contain aircraft executing the

GPS RWY 12 and GPS RWY SIAP to

Safford Municipal. The intended effect

of this proposal is to provide adequate

Class E airspace for aircraft executing

the GPS RWY 12 and RWY 30 SIAP at
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 105 /Tuesday, June 2, 1998 / Proposed Rules 29961

Safford Municipal Airport, Safford, AZ,

Class E airspace area designations 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

this 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

would not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.
