The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify Class E5 airspace at
Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport, Youngstown, Ohio and to revise the
language for the Class E5 airspace designations for Alliance, OH and
Salem, OH. The closing of the Youngstown Executive Airport, Youngstown,
OH on August 15, 1995 and deletion of the airport's VOR Runway 11/29
Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP), requires that the FAA
modify the airspace to ensure that the procedures at Youngstown-Warren
Regional Airport are within controlled airspace. In addition this
proposal would appropriately identify the Alliance and Salem, OH, Class
E airspace designations by revising the exclusionary language. The
modified areas would be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts
thereby enabling pilots to circumnavigate the areas 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 7400.9C dated August 17,
1995, and effective September 16, 1995, 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.
