Proposed Establishment of Class E Airspace; Sullivan, MO,

Sullivan Regional Airport

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This proposed rule would establish Class E airspace at

Sullivan, Missouri, extending from 700 feet above ground level (AGL) to

1200 feet AGL. The development of a new standard instrument approach

procedure (SIAP) at Sullivan Regional Airport, Sullivan, Missouri,

utilizing a new nondirectional beacon (NBD) on the airport as a

navigational aid, has made the proposal necessary. The intended effect

of this proposal is to provide controlled airspace for aircraft

executing the SIAP at Sullivan, Missouri.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace at

Sullivan, Missouri, extending from 700 feet AGL to 1200 feet AGL. The

development of a SIAP based on a New NDB located on the Sullivan

Regional Airport, Sullivan, Missouri, made this proposal necessary. The

intended effect of this proposal is to provide adequate Class E

airspace for aircraft executing the NBD SIAP at Sullivan Regional

Airport. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North

American Datum 83. Class E airspace areas extending from 700 feet or

more above the surface of the earth, when designated in conjunction

with an airport, are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9A

dated June 17, 1993, and effective September 16, 1993, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 (58 FR 36298; July 6, 1993).

The Class E airspace designation listed in this document would 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.

It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant rule'' 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.
