Docket No. 05–AEA–16] 

Proposed Amendment to Class E 

Airspace; Binghampton, NY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

SUMMARY: This notice proposes to 

amend the Class E airspace area in the 

Binghampton, NY area. The 

development of multiple area navigation 

(RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures (SIAP) for numerous airports 

within the Binghampton, NY area with 

approved Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 

operations and the resulting overlap of 

designated Class E–5 airspace have 

made this proposal necessary. The 

proposal would correct the name of the 

airport and update the Airport 

Reference Point (ARP). The proposal 

would consolidate the Class E–5 

airspace designations for six airports in 

the Binghampton area and result in the 

rescission of five separate Class E–5 

descriptions through separate 

rulemaking action. The area would be 

depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot 

reference.

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before September 22, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the 

proposal to the Docket Management 

System, U.S. Department of 

Transportation, Room Plaza 401, 400 

Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 

20590–0001. You must identify the 

docket number FAA–2005–22100/

Airspace Docket No. 05–AEA–16 at the 

beginning of your comments. You may 

also submit comments on the Internet at

any comments received, and any final 

disposition in person in the Dockets

procedure.

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.

The Proposed Amendment 

In consideration of the foregoing, the 

Federal Aviation Administration 

proposes to amend 14 CFR Part 71 as 

follows:

PART 71—[AMENDED] 

1. The authority citation for 14 CFR 

Part 71 continues to read as follows:

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40103, 40113, 

40120; E.O. 10854; 24 FR 9565, 3 CFR, 1959–

1963 Comp., p. 389.

§ 71.1 [Amended] 

2. The incorporation by reference in 

14 CFR 71.1 of Federal Aviation 

Administration Order 7400.9M, dated 

August 30, 2004, and effective 

September 16, 2004, is proposed to be 

amended as follows:

Paragraph 6005 Class E airspace areas 

extending upward from 700 feet or more 

above the surface of the earth.

* * * * *

AEA NY E5 Binghamton, NY (Revised) 

That airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface within an area 

bounded by a line beginning at lat. 

41°53′35′′N., long 75°56′07′′W., to lat. 

41°52′45′′N., long 76°55′49′′W., to lat.
