Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 30 / Tuesday, February 13, 2001 / Proposed Rules 9989

The intended effect of this proposal is

designed to provide for the safe and

efficient use of the navigable airspace.

This proposal would promote safe flight

operations under IFR at the Yellowstone

Regional Airport and between the

terminal and en route transition stages.

The area would be depicted on

aeronautical charts for pilot reference.

The coordinates for this airspace docket

are based on North American Datum 83.

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 7400.9H dated

September 1, 2000, and effective

September 16, 2000, 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. 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 11013; 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.

SUMMARY: This notice proposes to revise

Class E airspace at Poplar, MT. The

development of new Area Navigation

(RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 27

and RWY 9 at Poplar Airport has made

this proposal necessary. Class E 700

foot, and 1,200 foot controlled airspace,

above the surface of the earth is required

to contain aircraft executing the RNAV

RWY 27 and RWY 9 SIAP to Poplar

Airport. The intended effect of this

proposal is to provide adequate

controlled airspace for Instrument Flight

Rules (IFR) operations at Poplar Airport,

Poplar, MT.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before March 30, 2001.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal

Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by

revising Class C airspace at Poplar, MT.

Newly developed RNAV SIAPs to RWY

27 and RWY 9 at Poplar Airport have

made this proposal necessary.

Controlled airspace from 700 feet, and

1,200 feet, above the surface is required

to contain aircraft executing the RNAV

RWY 25 SIAP. The FAA establishes

Class E airspace where necessary to

contain aircraft transitioning between

the terminal and en route environments.

The intended effect of this proposal is

designed to provide for the safe and

efficient use of the navigable airspace.

This proposal would promote safe flight

operations under IFR at the Poplar

Airport and between the terminal and

en route transition stages.

The area would be depicted on

aeronautical charts for pilot reference.

The coordinates for this airspace docket

are based on North American Datum 83.

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 7400.9H dated

September 1, 2000, and effective

September 16, 2000, 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. 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 11013; 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.
