a Global Positioning System (GPS) RWY

29 SIAP, and a GPS RWY 10 SIAP have

been developed for the Rigrtona Airport,

Tidioute, PA. Additional controlled

airspace extending upward from 700

feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is

needed to accommodate the SIAPs and

rulemaking will be filed in the docket.

Availability of NPRMs

Any person may obtain a copy of this

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)

by submitting a request to the Office of

must identify the notice number of this

NPRM. Persons interested in being

placed on a mailing list for future

NPRMs 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 AGL at Tidioute,

PA. A VOR/DME–A SIAP, a VOR/DME

RNAV RWY 28, a VOR/DME RNAV

RWY 10, a GPS RWY 28 SIAP, and a

GPS RWY 10 SIAP have been developed

for Rigrtona Airport. Additional

controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet AGL is needed to

accommodate the SIAPs and for IFR

operations at the airport. 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
35548 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 125 /Tuesday, June 30, 1998 / Proposed Rules

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.

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

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
