The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by revising Class E airspace at Redmond,
OR. Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft
using the new RNAV (GPS) SIAP at City-County Airport, Madras, OR. This
controlled airspace is necessary for the safety of IFR aircraft
executing the new SIAP at City-County Airport.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.9P, dated September 1, 2006, and effective September 15,
2006, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class
E airspace designation listed in this document will be published
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
[[Page 8138]]
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, when promulgated, 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 proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows:
