the application procedure.
The Proposal
This action proposes to amend Title
14, code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR
Part 71) by establishing a Class D
airspace area extending upward from
the surface to and including 3,300 feet
above mean sea level (MSL) within a
4.6-mile radius of Independence
PO 00000
Frm 00001

Municipal Airport, KS. The
establishment of an air traffic control
tower has made this action necessary.
The intended effect of this proposal is
to provide controlled airspace for flight
operations at Independence Municipal
Airport, KS. The area would be depicted
on appropriate aeronautical charts.
Class D airspace areas are published
in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order
7400.9P, dated September 1, 2006, and
effective September 16, 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 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 all 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.

Comments Invited
Interested parties are invited to
participate in this proposed rulemaking
by submitting such written data, views
or arguments as they may desire.
Comments that provide the factual basis
supporting the views and suggestions
presented are particularly helpful in
developing reasoned regulatory
decisions on the proposal. Comments
are specifically invited on the overall
regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related
aspects of the proposal. Communication

wishing the FAA to acknowledge
receipt of their comments on this notice
must submit with those comments a
self-addressed, stamped postcard on
which the following statement is made:
‘‘Comments to Docket No. FAA–2007–
28591/Airspace Docket No. 07–ASO–
16.’’ The postcard will be date/time

before taking action on the proposed
rule. The proposal contained in this
notice may be changed in light of the
comments received. A report
summarizing each substantive public
contact with FAA personnel concerned
with this rulemaking will be filed in the
docket.
The Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend
Class E airspace at Scottsboro, AL. The
current Class E airspace area supporting
helicopter operations at Jackson County
Hospital is too small to contain the new
RNAV (GPS) SIAPs at nearby Scottsboro
Municipal—Word Field Airport. This
proposed action would provide the
additional controlled airspace,
extending upward from 700 feet above
ground level (AGL), that is required to
support the new RNAV (GPS) SIAPs for
runways 4 and 22 at Scottsboro
Municipal—Word Field Airport.
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 1,
2006, and effective September 15, 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.
