Proposed Establishment of Class E

Airspace; Fairfax, VA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This proposed rule would

establish Class E airspace at Fairfax, VA.

A Global Positioning System (GPS),

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedure (SIAP), 100° helicopter point

in space approach has been developed

for the Mobil Business Resources

Corporation (MBRC) heliport at Fairfax,

VA. Controlled airspace extending

upward from 700 feet above ground

level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft

executing the approach and 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.

Availability of NPRMs

Any person may obtain a copy of this

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)

NPRM. Persons interested in being

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

establish Class E airspace extending

upward from 700 feet above the surface

(AGL) at Fairfax, VA. A GPS Point In

Space Approach has been developed for

the MBRC 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.

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.
