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, controlled

airspace extending upward from 700

feet AGL at Panhandle-Carson County

Airport, Panhandle, TX. The

development of a GPS SIAP to RWY 35

has made this proposal necessary.

Designated airspace extending upward

from 700 feet above the ground is now

Class E airspace. The intended effect of

this proposal is to provide adequate

Class E airspace for aircraft executing

the GPS SIAP to RWY 35 at PanhandleCarson County Airport, Panhandle, TX.

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

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.

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
