Establishment of Class E Airspace; Butler, GA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Butler, GA. Area 
Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) and Nondirectional 
Radio Beacon (NDB) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP) 
Runway (RWY) 18 and RWY 36 have been developed for Butler Municipal 
Airport. As a result, controlled airspace extending upward from 700 
feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is needed to contain the SIAPs and for 
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Butler Municipal Airport. 
The operating status of the airport will change from Visual Flight 
Rules (VFR) to include IFR operations concurrent with the publication 
of the SIAP.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, November 23, 2006. The Director of the 
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 
1 CFR part 51. Subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 
publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On August 2, 2006, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by

[[Page 57415]]

establishing Class E airspace at Butler, GA (71 FR 43679). This action 
provides adequate Class E airspace for IFR operations at Butler 
Municipal Airport. Designations for Class E airspace areas extending 
upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth are 
published in FAA Order 7400.9P, dated September 1, 2006, and effective 
September 15, 2006, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 
71.1. The Class E designations 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) establishes Class E airspace at Butler, GA.
    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. 
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, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
