The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend the Class E airspace
area at Brewton, AL. A VOR RWY 6 SIAP has been developed for the
Brewton Municipal Airport. Additional controlled airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface (AGL) is needed to accommodate
this SIAP and for IFR operations at the airport. Class E airspace
designations for airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more
above the surface are published in Paragraph 60005 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 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.
