Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend

dated August 3, 2016, and effective
September 15, 2016. FAA Order
7400.11A is publicly available as listed

The Proposal
mstockstill on DSK30JT082PROD with PROPOSALS
The FAA is considering an
amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface within a 6.8mile radius of Turner County Airport,
Ashburn, GA. This proposal would
provide the controlled airspace required
to support the new RNAV (GPS)
standard instrument approach
procedures for IFR operations at Turner
County Airport.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:53 May 25, 2017
Jkt 241001
Class E airspace designations are
published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016,
and effective September 15, 2016, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designation
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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
proposed 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.
Environmental Review
This proposal would be subject to an
environmental analysis in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final
regulatory action.
