The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

revise Class E airspace, controlled

airspace extending upward from the

surface at Ardmore Municipal Airport,

Ardmore, OK. The need to extend the

Class E airspace to encompass the

current VOR SIAP to RWY 04 has made

this proposal necessary. Designated

airspace extending upward from surface

is now Class E airspace, which extends

from the Class D surface airspace. The

intended effect of this proposal is to

provide adequate Class E surface

airspace for aircraft executing the VOR

SIAP to RWY 04 at Ardmore Municipal

Airport, Ardmore, OK. The coordinates

for this airspace docket are based on

North American Datum 83.

Designated Class E airspace areas

extending upward from the surface as

an extension of Class D airspace are

published in Paragraph 6004 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 that need frequent and

routine amendments 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

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

revise the Class E airspace, controlled

airspace extending upward from 700

feet AGL, at Pauls Valley Municipal

Airport, Pauls Valley, OK. A new GPS

and an amended NDB SIAP’s to RWY 35

have made this proposal necessary. The

intended effect of this proposal is to

provide adequate Class E airspace for

aircraft executing the GPS and NDB

SIAP to Rwy 35 at Pauls Valley, OK.

The coordinates for this airspace

docket are based on North American

Datum 83. Designated Class E airspace

areas extending upward from 700 feet or

more above ground level 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 that need frequent and

routine amendments to keep them

operationally current. It, therefore—(1)

Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not

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
