SUMMARY: This amendment establishes Class E airspace at Georgetown, KY.

A VOR/DME RWY 3 Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) has been

developed for the Georgetown Scott County-Marshall Field Airport.

Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface

rules (IFR) operations at the airport. The operating status of the

airport will change from VFR to include IFR operations concurrent with

publication of the SIAP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On August 23, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the

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

airspace at Georgetown, KY, (59 FR 43308). This action is intended to

provide adequate Class E airspace for IFR operations at Georgetown

Scott County-Marshall Field Airport. 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 coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North

American Datum 83. This amendment is the same as that proposed in the

notice. Class E airspace areas designated as a surface areas for an

airport are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9B dated July

18, 1994, and effective September 16, 1994. The Class E airspace

designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in

the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations

establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet AGL at

Georgetown, Ky, to accomodate the VOR/DME RWY 3 SIAP and for IFR

operations at the Georgetown Scott County-Marshall Field Airport. The

operating status of the airport will be changed from VFR to include IFR

operations concurrent with publication of the SIAP.

The FAA has determined that this 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 will not have a significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.
