14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA–2005–20056 Airspace 

Docket No. 05–AEA–01] 

Proposed Amendment to Class E 

Airspace; Harrisburg, PA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

SUMMARY: This notice proposes to 

amend the Class E airspace area in the 

Harrisburg, PA metropolitan area. The 

development of multiple area navigation 

(RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures (SIAP) for numerous airports 

within the Harrisburg, PA metropolitan 

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 consolidate the Class E–

5 airspace designations for ten airports 

and result in the rescission of seven 

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 March 10, 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–2005–20056/

Airspace Docket No. 05–AEA–01 at the 

beginning of your comments. You may 

also submit comments on the Internet at

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 

Harrisburg, PA metropolitan area. The 

proposal would consolidate the 

following airport Class E–5 airspace 

designations into the Harrisburg, PA 

designation: Annville, PA, Millard 

Airport (N76); Carlisle, PA, Carlisle 

Airport (N94); Fort Indiantown Gap, PA, 

Muir AAF (MUI); Harrisburg, PA, 

Capital City Airport (CXY), Harrisburg 

International Airport (MDT); Lancaster, 

PA, Lancaster Airport (LNS); Marietta, 

PA, Donegal Springs Airpark (N71); 

Myerstown, PA, Decks Airport (9D4); 

York PA, York Airport (THV). This 

action would result in the rescission of 

seven Class E–5 designations under a 

separate docket. The affected airspace 

would subsequently be incorporated 

into the Harrisburg, PA 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 area 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.

regulations and statutes to remove 

provisions relating to the Surface 

Mining Advisory Council, to update 

citation references, to correct

provide additional safeguards and to 

clarify ambiguities.

II. Description of the Proposed Amendment 

III. Public Comment Procedures 

IV. Procedural Determinations

I. Background on the Illinois Program 

Section 503(a) of the Act permits a 

State to assume primacy for the 

regulation of surface coal mining and 

reclamation operations on non-Federal 

and non-Indian lands within its borders 

by demonstrating that its program 

includes, among other things, ‘‘a State 

law which provides for the regulation of 

surface coal mining and reclamation 

operations in accordance with the 

requirements of this Act * * *; and 

rules and regulations consistent with 

regulations issued by the Secretary 

pursuant to this Act.’’ See 30 U.S.C. 

1253(a)(1) and (7). On the basis of these 

criteria, the Secretary of the Interior 

conditionally approved the Illinois 

program on June 1, 1982. You can find 

background information on the Illinois 

program, including the Secretary’s 

findings, the disposition of comments, 

and the conditions of approval of the 

Illinois program in the June 1, 1982, 

Federal Register (47 FR 23858). You can 

also find later actions concerning the 

Illinois program and program 

amendments at 30 CFR 913.10, 913.15, 

913.16, and 913.17. 

II. Description of the Proposed 

Amendment 

By letter dated December 10, 2004 

(Administrative Record No. IL–5086), 

the Illinois Department of Natural 

Resources, Office of Mines and Minerals 

(Department) sent us an amendment to 

its program under SMCRA (30 U.S.C. 

1201 et seq.). The Department proposed 

to amend its regulations at 62 Illinois 

Administrative Code (IAC) Parts 1700, 

1761, 1762, 1772, and 1773 and its 

statutes at 225 Illinois Compiled 

Statutes (ILCS) 720/1.04. The 

Department sent the amendment at its 

own initiative. Below is a summary of 

the changes proposed by the 

Department. The full text of the program 

amendment is available for you to read 

at the locations listed above under 

ADDRESSES.
