The Proposal

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

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to provide additional controlled

airspace for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) procedures at the Clay

Center Municipal Airport due to the development of a new SIAP. The

additional airspace would segregate aircraft operating under VFR

conditions from aircraft operating under IFR procedures. The area would

be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts thereby enabling pilots

to circumnavigate the area or otherwise comply with IFR procedures.

Class E airspace designations for airspace areas extending upward from

700 feet or more above the surface of the earth are published in

paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9B, dated July 18, 1994, and effective

September 16, 1994, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.

The Class E airspace designation listed in this document would be

published subsequently in the Order

R procedures.

Class E airspace designations for airspace areas extending upward from

700 feet or more above the surface of the earth are published in

paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9B, dated July 18, 1994, and effective

September 16, 1994, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.

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.

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 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 will not

have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
