The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Part 71 of the Federal 

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to 

amend the Class E airspace within the 

Binghamton, NY area. The proposal 

would consolidate the following airport 

Class E–5 airspace designations into the 

Binghamton, NY designation: Cortland, 

NY, Cortland County-Chase Field 

Airport (N03); Ithaca, NY, Tompkins 

County Airport (ITH); Elmira, NY, 

Elmira/Corning Regional Airport (ELM); 

Endicott, NY, Tri-Cities Airport (CZG); 

and Sayre, PA, Robert Parker Hospital 

Heliport. This action would result in the 

rescission of five Class E–5 designations 

under a separate docket. The affected 

airspace would subsequently be 

incorporated into the Binghamton, NY 

description. The airspace will be 

defined to accommodate the approaches 

and contain IFR operations to and from 

those airports. This change would have 

no impact on aircraft operations since 

the type of airspace designation is not 

changing. Furthermore, the IFR 

approach procedures for the individual 

airports within the are would not be 

affected. Class E airspace designations 

for airspace areas extending upward 

from 700 ft. or more above the surface 

are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9M, dated August 30, 2004, 

and effective September 16, 2004, 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 significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities under the criteria of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

History 

On June 29, 2005, the Salt Lake City 

Air Route Traffic Control Center 

(ARTCC) requested Federal Airway V–

343 be extended to accommodate 

arriving instrument air traffic at BTM. 

This action responds to this request.

Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 to modify Federal 

Airway V–343 by extending the airway 

from the Bozeman, MT, VORTAC to the 

initial approach fix for the RNAV 

runway 15 approach to the BTM, MT. 

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 Department of 

Transportation (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 will only affect air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this proposed rule, when 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
