The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to increase the Class E airspace
in the vicinity of Claremont Municipal Airport, Claremont, NH. The
proposal would add to the basic radius of Class E airspace that extends
upward from 700 feet above the surface, airspace within 2 miles on each
side of the 094 deg. bearing from the Claremont Non-Directional Beacon
(NDB) extending from the 5.5-mile radius to 15.3 miles east of the
Claremont NDB. This proposal would not affect that airspace within the
Springfield, VT, Concord, NH, and Lebanon, NH, Class E areas. This
proposal is necessary to provide adequate controlled airspace for the
new GPS Runway 29, Standard Instrument Approach Procedure at Claremont
Municipal Airport, Claremont, NH. 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 involves only
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep these regulations
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 economic cost will be so
minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, the FAA certifies 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.
