Amendment of Class E Airspace; London, KY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This amendment modifies Class E airspace at London, KY. A 
Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure 
(SIAP) has been developed for Manchester Memorial Hospital, Manchester, 
KY. As a result, additional controlled airspace extending upward from 
700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is needed to accommodate the SIAP and 
for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Manchester Memorial 
Hospital.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, April 20, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy B. Shelton, Manager, Airspace 
Branch, Air Traffic Division, Federal Aviation Administration, P.O. 
20636, Atlanta, Georgia 30320; telephone (404) 305-5627.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On December 17, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending Class E 
airspace at London KY, (64 FR 70612). This action provides adequate 
Class E airspace for IFR operations at the Manchester Memorial 
Hospital. Designations for Class E airspace extending upward form 700 
feet or more above the surface are published in FAA Order 7400.9G, 
dated September 1, 1999, and effective September 16, 1999, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class E designation 
listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

    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 Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) amends Class E airspace at London, KY, for the Manchester 
Memorial Hospital.
    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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by Reference, Navigation (air).
