SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On July 10, 2007, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E airspace
at Gainesville, FL, (72 FR 37489). This action provides adequate Class
E airspace for IFR operations at Shands Hospital, Gainesville, FL.
Designations for Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet
or more above the surface of the earth are published in FAA Order
7400.9P, dated September 1, 2006, and effective September 15, 2006,
which is incorporated by reference in 14
[[Page 51362]]
CFR part 71.1. The Class E designations listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.
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.
The Rule
This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 establishes Class E airspace at Gainesville, FL, to provide
controlled airspace required to support the new Area Navigation (RNAV)
Global Positioning System (GPS) helicopter point in space approach at
Shands Hospital.
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 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
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
