Proposed Amendment of Class E

Airspace; Johnstown, PA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This proposed rule would

amend Class E airspace at Johnstown,

PA. The development of a new Standard

Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP),

Helicopter Point In Space Approach

based on the Global Positioning System

(GPS), and serving the Conemaugh

Valley Memorial Hospital Heliport has

made this proposal necessary. The

intended effect of this proposal is to

provide adequate controlled airspace for

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations

to the heliport. The area would be

depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot

reference.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before July 27, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the

proposed rule in triplicate to: Manager,

Availability of NPRMs

Any person may obtain a copy of this

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)

by submitting a request to the Office of

the Regional Counsel, AEA–7, F.A.A.

must identify the notice number of this

NPRM. Persons interested in being

placed on a mailing list for future

NPRM’s should also request a copy of

Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, which

describes the application procedure.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to Part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

amend Class E airspace extending

upward from 700 feet above the surface

(AGL) at Johnstown, PA. A GPS Point In

Space Approach has been developed for

the Conemaugh Valley Memorial

Hospital Heliport. Additional controlled

airspace extending upward from 700

feet above the surface (AGL) is needed

to accommodate this approach and for

IFR operations to the heliport. The area

would be depicted on appropriate

aeronautical charts.

Class E airspace designations for

airspace extending upward from 700

feet 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 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 would 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.
