SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On Friday, October 6, 2006, the FAA proposed to amend Part 71 of 
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) to establish Class E 
airspace at Hayward, WI (71 FR 59031). The proposal was to modify the 
Class E5 airspace area to bring Hayward, WI, airspace into compliance 
with FAA directives. Interested parties were invited to participate in 
this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the 
proposal to the FAA. No comments objecting to the proposal were 
received.

The Rule

    This notice amends Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR Part 71) by modifying Class E airspace area extending upward from 
700 feet above the surface at Hayward, WI. The establishment of 
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures has made this action necessary. 
The intended effect of this action is to provide adequate controlled 
airspace for Instrument Flight Rules operations at Hayward, WI. The 
area will be depicted on approprite aeronautical charts.
    Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above 
the surface of the earth are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 
7400.9P, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated September 1, 
2006, and effective September 15, 2006, which is incorporated by 
reference in 14 CFR 71.1 of the same Order. The Class E airspace 
designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations for which

[[Page 1281]]

frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them 
operationally current. Therefore, this 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 will only affect air traffic 
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this 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.
    This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in 
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the 
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the 
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient 
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority 
since it contains aircraft executing instrument approach procedures to 
Hayward, WI.
