Availability of NPRMs

    Any person may obtain a copy of this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 
(NPRM) by submitting a request to the Federal Aviation Administration, 
Office of Public Affairs, Attention: Public Inquiry Center, APA-230, 
800 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20591, or by calling (202)

Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future NPRMs 
should also request a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, which 
describes the procedures.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to provide additional controlled 
airspace for a new Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) procedure at the St. 
Charles Co. Smartt Airport, MO; Camdenton Memorial Airport, MO; Monett 
Municipal Airport, MO; West Plains Municipal Airport, MO; Butler 
Municipal Airport, MO; Point Lookout, M. Graham Clark Airport, MO; 
Sedalia Memorial Airport, MO; Monroe City Regional Airport, MO; 
Farmington Regional Airport, MO; Kaiser, Lee C. Fine Airport, MO; Fort 
Leavenworth, Sherman AAF, KS; and Dodge City Regional Airport, KS. The 
additional airspace would segregate aircraft operating under VFR 
conditions from aircraft operating under IFR procedures. The area would 
be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts thereby enabling pilots 
to circumnavigate the area 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.
