Availability of NPRMs

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 Collegeville, PA. A GPS Point

In Space Approach has been developed

for the Rhone-Poulenc Rorer

Collegeville 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)
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 125 /Tuesday, June 30, 1998 / Proposed Rules 35549

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.
