The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 by modifying 
the Class E airspace area at St. Johns Industrial Air Park, St. Johns, 
AZ. The establishment of an Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning 
System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway 32 
at St. Johns Industry Air Park, St. Johns, AZ, has made this proposal 
necessary.
    Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface is needed to contain aircraft executing the RNAV (GPS) IAP 
to RWY 32 at St. Johns Industrial Air Park, St. Johns, AZ. The intended 
effect of this proposal is to provide adequate controlled airspace for 
aircraft executing the RNAV (GPS) IAP to RWY 32 at St. Johns Industrial 
Air Park, St. Johns, AZ. Class E airspace designations are published in 
paragraph 60005 of FAA Order 7400.9P dated September 1, 2006, and 
effective September 15, 2006, which is Incorporated by reference in 14 
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document 
would be published subsequently in this Order.
    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. 
Therefore, this proposed regulation--(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 proposed rule would not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
