Area Navigation (RNAV), Global Positioning System (GPS), Runway (RWY) 8 
Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP), has been developed for 
Andrews-Murphy, NC. As a result, controlled airspace extending upward 
from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is needed to accommodate the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On November 20, 2001, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending Class E5 
airspace at Andrews-Murphy, NC, (66 FR 58080). This action provides 
adequate Class E airspace for IFR operations at Andrews-Murphy, NC. 
Designations for Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet or 
more above the surface are published in FAA Order 7400.9J, dated August 
31, 2001, and effective September 16, 2001, 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 E5 airspace at Andrews-Murphy, NC.
    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
