The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise the Class E airspace at
Allen Parish Airport, Oakdale, Louisiana. Restricted Area R-3806, near
Allen Parish Airport, has been relocated. Controlled airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above ground level (AGL) is needed for instrument
flight rule (IFR) operations at the airport. The intended effect of
this proposal is to provide adequate class E airspace for aircraft
executing the NDB SIAP at Allen Parish Airport.
The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. Class E airspace areas designated for airspace areas
extending upward from 700 feet or more above ground level 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 that need frequent and
routine amendments 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 impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
