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 
area at Milledgeville, GA. A LOC RWY 28 SIAP has been developed for 
Baldwin County Airport. Additional controlled airspace extending upward 
from 700 feet AGL is needed to accommodate this SIAP and for IFR 
operations at the airport. Designations for Class E airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet or more above the surface are published in 
Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9B dated July 18, 1994 and effective 
September 16, 1994, which is incorporated by reference in 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. 
It, therefore, (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 for the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
