SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace at Dayton, OH. Area 
Navigation (RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPS) have 
been developed for James M Cox Dayton International Airport, Dayton, 
OH. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above 
the surface of the earth is needed to contain aircraft executing these 
approaches. This action increases the area of existing controlled 
airspace for James M Cox Dayton International Airport, OH.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Denis C. Burke, Air Traffic Division,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:


History


    On Thursday, September 19, 2002, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR 
part 71 to modify Class E airspace at Dayton, OH (67 FR 59032). The 
proposal was to modify existing Class E airspace at James M Cox Dayton 
International Airport, OH, in order to protect for several new RNAV 
SIAPS.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments objecting to the proposal were received. 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 7400.9K dated August 
30, 2002, and effective September 16, 2002, which is incorporated by 
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E designations listed in this 
document will be published subsequently in the Order.


The Rule


    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies Class E airspace at 
Dayton, OH, by increasing the existing area of controlled airspace for 
James M Cox Dayton International Airport. Controlled airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth is needed 
to contain aircraft executing instrument approach procedures. The area 
will be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an 
establishment body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
Therefore this, 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 will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on 
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
