AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above ground level (AGL) at Manila Municipal Airport, Manila,
AR. The development of a Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB) Standard
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 18 has made this
action necessary. This action is intended to provide adequate
controlled airspace for aircraft executing the NDB SIAP to RWY 18 at
Manila Municipal Airport, Manila, AR.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, September 11, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On June 18, 1996, a proposal to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace at
Manila, AR, was published in the Federal Register (61 FR 30843). The
development of a NDB SIAP to RWY 18 made the proposal necessary. The
proposal was to establish adequate controlled airspace for aircraft
executing the NDB SIAP to RWY 18 at Manila Municipal Airport, Manila,
AR.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments to the proposal were received. However, the proposed
Manila, AR, Class E airspace did not exclude Blytheville, AR, Class E
airspace. The description of the Manila, AR, Class E airspace has been
revised to reflect this change. The FAA has determined that this change
is relieving in nature and will not increase the scope of this rule.
Except for the non-substantive change just discussed, the rule is
adopted as proposed.
The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. Class E airspace designations for airspace areas are
published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9D dated September 4,
1996, and effective September 16, 1996, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. 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 (14
CFR part 71) establishes Class E airspace at Manila Municipal Airport,
Manila, AR, to provide controlled airspace for aircraft executing the
NDB SIAP to RWY 18.
The FAA has determined that this 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 will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
