The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to modify
Class E airspace at Wilmington Clinton Field, OH, for Wilmington
Clinton Field. 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 would be depicted on
appropriate aeronautical charts. 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 7400.9L dated September 2,
2003, and effective September 16, 2003, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E designations listed in this
document would be published subsequently in the Order.
The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an establishment body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routing amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore this, proposed 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 proposed rule will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
The Proposed Amendment
Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the Federal

Aviation Administration Order 7400.9L, Airspace Designations and
