SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Friday, October 6, 2006, the FAA proposed to amend Part 71 of
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) to establish Class E
airspace at Hayward, WI (71 FR 59031). The proposal was to modify the
Class E5 airspace area to bring Hayward, WI, airspace into compliance
with FAA directives. 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 notice amends Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR Part 71) by modifying Class E airspace area extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Hayward, WI. The establishment of
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures has made this action necessary.
The intended effect of this action is to provide adequate controlled
airspace for Instrument Flight Rules operations at Hayward, WI. The
area will be depicted on approprite 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
7400.9P, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated September 1,
2006, and effective September 15, 2006, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1 of the same Order. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the Order.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which
[[Page 1281]]
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, when
promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
since it contains aircraft executing instrument approach procedures to
Hayward, WI.
