The Proposal
Paragraph 5000
Class D Airspace.
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 to revise the Class D
airspace area. Utilizing a 6-nautical-mile
Distance Measuring Equipment (DME)
arc from the Phoenix VORTAC eastward
to Gilbert Road, the proposed Class B
airspace, in association with this
proposed Class D airspace area revision,
would provide a similar general aviation
airspace transition area between
approximately 3.17 and 5 nautical miles
wide beneath its floor of 2,700 feet MSL.
This area encompasses a small portion
of the Mesa Falcon Field Airport Class
D airspace area.
In order to accommodate general
aviation transitioning north and south
below the proposed Class B airspace,
and provide an eastern visual boundary
and the widest possible corridor of VFR
airspace under 2,700 feet MSL between
the 6-nautical-mile DME arc and Gilbert
Road, it is proposed to revise the Class
D airspace to extend only as far west as
Gilbert Road; thus allowing aircraft to
remain below Class B airspace and
outside and to the west of Class D
airspace during its hours of operation.
Class D airspace areas are published
in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order
7400.9P dated September 1, 2006, and
effective September 15, 2006, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class D airspace designation
listed in this document would be
published subsequently in this Order.

establish Class E airspace at
Williamsburg, KY. Area Navigation
(RNAV) Global Positioning system
(GPS) Standard Instrument Approach
procedures (SIAPs) Runway (RWY) 02
and RWY 36 have been developed for

Ground Level (AGL) is needed to
contain the SIAPs and for Instrument
Flight Rules (IFR) operations at
Williamsburg—Whitley County Airport.
The operating status of the airport will
change from Visual Flight rules (VFR) to
include IFR operations concurrent with
the publication of the SIAPs.

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to Part 71 of the Federal
Aviation regulations (14 CFR part 71) to
establish Class E airspace at
Williamsburg, KY. Class E airspace
designations for airspace areas
extending upward from 700 feet or more
above the surface of the earth are
published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.9P, dated September 16,
2006, and effective September 16, 2006,
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.
