The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to modify
Class E airspace at Hayward, WI, for Sawyer County Airport. Controlled
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface of the earth
is needed to contain aircraft executing instrument approach procedures.
Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet above the surface
of the earth are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9N dated
September 1, 2005, and effective September 16, 2005, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E designations
listed in this document would be removed 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.
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.
