The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

provide additional controlled airspace

for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)

procedures at the Wheeler AAF. The

effect of this proposal is to provide

adequate Class E airspace for IFR

operators executing the Copter NDB

155° approach at Wheeler AAF, HI. The

coordinates for this airspace docket are

based on North American Datum 83.

Class E airspace designations for

airspace areas designated as an

extension to a Class D surface area are

published in Paragraph 6004 of FAA

Order 7400.9B dated July 18, 1994, and

effective September 16, 1994, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class E airspace designation

listed in this document will be

published subsequently in this 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 10034; 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 will only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this proposal rule will

not have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

reference, Navigation (air).
