The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to part 72 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace, 
extending upward from the surface as an extension to the Class D 
airspace at Drake Field, Fayetteville, AR. Additionally, the FAA is 
considering an amendment to the Class E airspace, controlled airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet AGL, which currently overlies Drake 
Field, Fayetteville, AR. The development of a new MLS SIAP to RWY 34 
has made this proposal to establish Class E airspace and to amend 
existing Class E Airspace necessary. The intended effect of this 
proposal is to provide adequate Class E airspace for aircraft executing 
the MLS SIAP to RWY 34 at Drake Field, Fayetteville, AR.
    The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. Class E airspace area designated as an extension to 
a Class D surface area are published in Paragraph 6004 and designated 
Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet or more above 
ground level 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 designations 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 that need frequent and 
routine amendments 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 impact on a 
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
