SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On September 28, 2001 a document proposing to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class E 
airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) for a 
Global Positioning System (GPS), Helicopter Point in Space approach to 
the EWT 4 Heliport, Honey Grove, PA, was published in the Federal 
Register (66 FR 49575-49576).
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA on 
or before October 29, 2001. No comments to the proposal were received. 
The rule is adopted as proposed. The coordinates for this airspace 
docket are based on North American Datum 83. Class E airspace areas 
designations for airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above 
the surface of the earth are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 
7400.9J, dated August 31, 2001 and effective September 16, 2001, which 
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 
designation listed in this document will be published in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR Part 71) provides controlled Class E airspace extending upward from 
700 feet above the surface for aircraft conducting Instrument Flight 
Rules (IFR) operations at the EWT 4 Heliport, Honey Grove, PA.
    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. 
Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory 
action'' under Executive Order a 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 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
