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 
(AGL) is needed to accommodate this SIAP and for instrument flight 
rules (IFR) operations at the airport. The operating status of the 
airport will change from VFR to include IFR operations concurrent with

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.
