The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to Part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify Class E airspace at 
Newark, Ohio, to provide controlled airspace from 700 feet to 1200 feet 
AGL for aircraft executing the SDF Runway 9 SIAP into Newark-Heath 
Airport. The intended effect of this action is to provide segregation 
of aircraft using instrument approach procedures in instrument 
conditions from other aircraft operating in visual weather conditions. 
Aeronautical maps and charts would reflect the defined area, which 
would enable pilots to circumnavigate the area in order to comply with 
applicable visual flight rules requirements.
    The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. Class E airspace designations are published in 
Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9A dated June 17, 1993, and effective 
September 16, 1993, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 
(58 FR 36298; July 6, 1993). The Class E airspace designation 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 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.
