The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to provide additional controlled
airspace for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) procedures at the Wheeler
AAF. The effect of this proposal is to provide adequate Class E
airspace for IFR operators executing the Copter NDB 155 deg. approach
at Wheeler AAF, HI. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based
on North American Datum 83. Class E airspace designations for airspace
areas designated as an extension to a Class D surface area are
published in Paragraph 6004 of FAA Order 7400.9B dated July 18, 1994,
and effective September 16, 1994, which is incorporated by reference in
14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document
will 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 10034; 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 proposal rule will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
