The Proposal The FAA is considering an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 by modifying the Class E airspace area at Palm Springs International Airport, Palm Springs, CA. The establishment of a RNAV (RNP) Y IAP to RWY 13R at Palm Springs International Airport has made this proposal necessary. Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface is needed to contain aircraft executing the RNAV (RNP) Y IAP to RWY 13R at Palm Springs International Airport has made this proposal necessary. The intended effect of this proposal is to provide adequate controlled airspace for aircraft executing the RNAV (RNP) Y IAP to RWY 13R at Palm Springs International Airport, Palm Springs, CA. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9N dated September 1, 2005, and effective September 16, 2005, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in this Order. The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves an established body of technical regualtions for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this proposed regualtion—(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 would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 by modifying 
the Class E airspace area at Palm Springs International Airport, Palm 
Springs, CA. The establishment of a RNAV (RNP) Y IAP to RWY 13R at Palm 
Springs International Airport has made this proposal necessary. 
Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface is needed to contain aircraft executing the RNAV (RNP) Y IAP to 
RWY 13R at Palm Springs International Airport has made this proposal 
necessary. The intended effect of this proposal is to provide adequate 
controlled airspace for aircraft executing the RNAV (RNP) Y IAP to RWY 
13R at Palm Springs International Airport, Palm Springs, CA. Class E 
airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 
7400.9N dated September 1, 2005, and effective September 16, 2005, 
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in 
this Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves 
an established body of technical regualtions for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
Therefore, this proposed regualtion--(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 would not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
