Proposed Amendment of Class E

Airspace; Savannah, TN

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This document proposes to

amend Class E airspace at Savannah,

TN. A Non-Directional Beacon (NDB)

Runway (RWY) 19 Standard Instrument

Approach Procedure (SIAP) has been

developed for Savannah-Hardin County

Airport. As a result, additional

controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet Above Ground Level

(AGL) is needed to accommodate the

SIAP and for Instrument Flight Rules

(IFR) operations at Savannah-Hardin

County Airport. The Class E airspace

would be increased from a 6.4 to a 6.5-

mile radius of Savannah-Hardin County

Airport and the width of the airspace

each side of the 009° bearing from the

Pinhook NDB extending from the 6.5-

mile radius to 7 miles north of the NDB

would be increased from 2.4 to 3.2

miles.

DATES: Comments must be received on

Availability of NPRMs

Any person may obtain a copy of this

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 at Savannah,

TN. A Non-Directional Beacon (NDB)

RWY 19 SIAP has been developed for

Savannah-Hardin County Airport.

Additional controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet AGL is

needed to accommodate the SIAP and

for IFR operations at Savannah-Hardin

County Airport. Class E airspace

designations for airspace areas

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surfaced 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 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 than will

only affect air traffic procedures and air

navigation, it is certified that this rule,

when promulaged; will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.
