Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 12 / Wednesday, January 19, 2005 / Proposed Rules Regulatory Findings We have determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. For the reasons discussed above, I certify that the proposed regulation: 1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; 2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and 3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to comply with this proposed AD. See the ADDRESSES section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety. The Proposed Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows: PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. § 39.13 [Amended] 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness directive (AD): BAE Systems (Operations) Limited (Formerly British Aerospace Regional Aircraft): Docket No. FAA–2005–20078; Directorate Identifier 2004–NM–210–AD.

The Proposal This notice proposes to amend Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) to establish Class E airspace designated as a surface area for an airport at Newton, IA. Controlled airspace extending upward from the surface of the earth is needed to contain aircraft executing instrument approach procedures to Newton Municipal Airport. Weather observations would be provided by an Automatic Weather Observing/Reporting System (AWOS) and communications would be direct with Des Moines Terminal Radar Approach Control Facility. This notice also proposes to revise the Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Newton, IA. An examination of this Class E airspace area for Newton, IA VerDate jul<14>2003 15:09 Jan 18, 2005 Jkt 205001 revealed noncompliance with FAA directives. This proposal would correct identified discrepancies by decreasing the area from a 6.7-mile to a 6.5-mile radius of Newton Municipal Airport, decreasing the width of the extension from 2.6 to 1.4 miles each side of centerline, modifying the extension centerline, defining airspace of appropriate dimensions to protect aircraft departing and executing instrument approach procedures to Newton Municipal Airport and bringing the airspace area into compliance with FAA directives. Both areas would be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts. Class E airspace areas designated as surface areas are published in Paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9M, dated August 30, 2004, and effective September 16, 2004, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth are published in Paragraph 6005 of the same Order. The Class E airspace designations 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 DIT 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. This proposed rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This proposed regulation is within the scope of that authority since it would contain aircraft executing instrument approach procedures to Newton Municipal Airport.

The Proposal

    This notice proposes to amend Part 71 of the Federal Aviation 
Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) to establish Class E airspace designated 
as a surface area for an airport at Newton, IA. Controlled airspace 
extending upward from the surface of the earth is needed to contain 
aircraft executing instrument approach procedures to Newton Municipal 
Airport. Weather observations would be provided by an Automatic Weather 
Observing/Reporting System (AWOS) and communications would be direct 
with Des Moines Terminal Radar Approach Control Facility.
    This notice also proposes to revise the Class E airspace area 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Newton, IA. An 
examination of this Class E airspace area for Newton, IA revealed 
noncompliance with FAA directives. This proposal would correct 
identified discrepancies by decreasing the area from a 6.7-mile to a 
6.5-mile radius of Newton Municipal Airport, decreasing the width of 
the extension from 2.6 to 1.4 miles each side of centerline, modifying 
the extension centerline, defining airspace of appropriate dimensions 
to protect aircraft departing and executing instrument approach 
procedures to Newton Municipal Airport and bringing the airspace area 
into compliance with FAA directives. Both areas would be depicted on 
appropriate aeronautical charts.
    Class E airspace areas designated as surface areas are published in 
Paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9M, dated August 30, 2004, and 
effective September 16, 2004, which is incorporated by reference in 14 
CFR 71.1. Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more 
above the surface of the earth are published in Paragraph 6005 of the 
same Order. The Class E airspace designations 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 DIT 
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.
    This proposed rulemaking is promulgated under the authority 
described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 
section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the 
use of the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the 
efficient use of airspace. This proposed regulation is within the scope 
of that authority since it would contain aircraft executing instrument 
approach procedures to Newton Municipal Airport.
