FAA to acknowledge receipt of their

comments on this notice must submit

with the comments a self-addressed,

stamped postcard on which the

following statement is made:

Any person may obtain a copy of this

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)

by submitting a request to the Federal

Aviation Administration, System

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71)

by amending the Class E airspace area

at Vacaville, CA. The development of a

GPS SIAP at Nut Tree Airport has made

this proposal necessary. The intended

effect of this proposal is to provide

adequate Class E airspace for aircraft

executing the GPS RWY 20 SIAP at Nut

Tree Airport, Vacaville, CA. Class E

airspace designations for airspace areas

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface of the earth are

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9C dated August 17, 1995,

and effective September 16, 1995, which

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class E airspace designation

listed in this document would 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 proposed rule

would not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

establish Class E airspace at

Stevensville, MD. A GPS RWY 11 SIAP

has been developed for Bay Bridge

Airport. Additional controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet above

the surface (AGL) is needed to

accommodate this SIAP and for IFR

operations at the airport. The area

would be depicted on appropriate

aeronautical charts. Class E airspace

designations for airspace extending

upward from 700 feet above the surface

are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9C, dated August 17, 1995,

and effective September 16, 1995, 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 a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.
