[Docket No. FAA-200-28869; Airspace Docket No. 07-ACE-11]


Proposed Establishment of Class E5 Airspace; Tarkio, MO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to establish Class E airspace at Gould 
Peterson Municipal Airport, Tarkio, MO. The development of an Area 
Navigation (RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to 
serve flights operating into the Gould Peterson Municipal Airport 
during Instrumental Flight Rules (IFR) conditions makes this action 
necessary. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above 
Ground Level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft executing an approach. 
The area would be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 1, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this proposal to the Docket Management 
System, U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30,

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing to amend Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 
(14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E airspace at Tarkio, MO. 
Controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft using the new 
RNAV(GPS) IAP at Gould Peterson Municipal Airport. This action would 
enhance the safety and management of aircraft operations at Gould 
Peterson Municipal Airport, Tarkio, MO.
    Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above 
the surface of the earth are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 
7400.9P, dated September 1, 2006, and effective September 16, 2006, 
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 
designations listed in this document would be published subsequently in 
the 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. 
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.
