NPRM’s should contact the FAA’s
Office of Rulemaking, (202) 267–9677,
to request a copy of Advisory Circular
No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which
describes the application procedure.
The Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to
establish Class D airspace at Bay St.
Louis, MS. Class D airspace
designations for airspace areas
extending upward from the surface of
the earth are published in Paragraph
5000 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 D 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 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.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice proposes to
establish Class D and Class E4 airspace
and amend Class E5 airspace at
Leesburg, FL. A Federal contract lower
with a weather reporting system is being
constructed at the Leesburg Regional
Airport. Therefore, the airport will meet
the criteria for establishment of Class D
and Class E4 airspace. Class D surface
area airspace and Class E4 airspace
designated as an extension to Class D
airspace is required when the control
tower is open to contain existing Class
D airspace is required when the control
tower is open to contain existing
Standard Instrument Approach
Procedures (SIAPs) and other
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations
at the airport. This action would

establish Class D airspace extending
upward from the surface to but not
including 1,600 feet MSL within a 4.1mile radius of the Leesburg Regional
Airport and a Class E4 airspace
extension that is 4.8 miles wide and
extends 7 miles southeast of the airport.
A regional evaluation has determined
the existing Class E5 airspace area
should be amended to contain the
Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB)
Runway (RWY) 31 SIAP. As a result,
controlled airspace extending upward
from 700 feet Above Ground Level
(AGL) needed to contain the SIAP will
decrease from a 7-mile radius of the
airport to a 6.6-mile radius of the airport
and provide for the procedure turn area.
Additionally, a technical amendment is
required as a result of a name change
from the Leesburg Municipal Airport to
the Leesburg Regional Airport, which
was effective August 25, 1997.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before March 30, 2006.

Proposed Establishment of Class D and Class E Airspace; Proposed
Amendment of Class E Airspace; Leesburg, FL
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice proposes to establish Class D and Class E4
airspace and amend Class E5 airspace at Leesburg, FL. A Federal
contract lower with a weather reporting system is being constructed at
the Leesburg Regional Airport. Therefore, the airport will meet the
criteria for establishment of Class D and Class E4 airspace. Class D
surface area airspace and Class E4 airspace designated as an extension
to Class D airspace is required when the control tower is open to
contain existing Class D airspace is required when the control tower is
open to contain existing Standard Instrument Approach Procedures
(SIAPs) and other Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the
airport. This action would establish Class D airspace extending upward
from the surface to but not including 1,600 feet MSL within a 4.1-mile
radius of the Leesburg Regional Airport and a Class E4 airspace
extension that is 4.8 miles wide and extends 7 miles southeast of the
airport. A regional evaluation has determined the existing Class E5
airspace area should be amended to contain the Nondirectional Radio
Beacon (NDB) Runway (RWY) 31 SIAP. As a result, controlled airspace
extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) needed to
contain the SIAP will decrease from a 7-mile radius of the airport to a
6.6-mile radius of the airport and provide for the procedure turn area.
Additionally, a technical amendment is required as a result of a name
change from the Leesburg Municipal Airport to the Leesburg Regional
Airport, which was effective August 25, 1997.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 30, 2006.

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class D airspace and
Class E4 airspace and amend Class E5 airspace at Leesburg, FL. Class D
airspace designations for airspace areas extending upward from the
surface of the earth, Class E airspace designations for airspace areas
designated as an extension to a Class D airspace area and Class E
airspace designations for airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet
or more above the surface of the earth are published in Paragraphs
5000, 6004 and 6005 respectively, 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 D and 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 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.
