14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 94-ASO-19]

 

Proposed Establishment of Class E Airspace; Georgetown, KY

agency: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

action: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

summary: This notice proposes to establish Class E airspace at 
Georgetown, Kentucky. A Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) 
to the Georgetown Scott County-Marshall Field Airport has been 
developed and controlled airspace from 700 feet to 1200 feet above 
ground level (AGL) is needed for IFR operations at the airport. The 
intended effect of this proposal is to provide adequate Class E 
airspace for IFR operations within controlled airspace. If approved, 
the operating status of the airport would change from VFR to include 
IFR operations, concurrent with publication of the SIAP.

dates: Comments must be received on or before: October 10, 1994.

addresses: Send comments on the proposal in triplicate to: Federal 
Aviation Administration, Docket No. 94-ASO-19 Manager, System

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 
Georgetown, Kentucky. A SIAP based on the Lexington Very High Frequency 
Omnidirectional Range (VOR) has been established to serve the 
Georgetown Scott County-Marshall Field Airport. Controlled airspace 
extending from 700 feet 59 1200 feet AGL is needed for IFR operations 
at the airport. The intended effect of this proposal is to provide 
adequate Class E airspace for IFR operators executing the VOR/DME 
Runway 03 SIAP at the airport. The coordinates for this airspace docket 
are based on North American Datum 83. Designations for Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface 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 CFR 
71.1 effective September 16, 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 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.
