The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 
(14 CFR) part 71, by establishing a Class E airspace area extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface at Field of Dreams Airport, 
Hinckley, MN. The establishment of RNAV (GPS) IAPs have made this 
action necessary. The intended effect of this proposal is to provide 
adequate controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rules operations at 
Field of Dreams Airport, Hinckley, MN. The area would be depicted on 
appropriate aeronautical charts.
    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 
7400.9R, signed August 15, 2007, and effective September 15, 2007, 
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. This rulemaking is 
promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 
Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with 
prescribing regulations to assign the use of the airspace necessary to 
ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This 
regulation is within the scope of that authority as it would enhance 
the safety and management of aircraft operations at Field of Dreams 
Airport, Hinckley, MN.
