Federal Aviation Administration
Proposed Establishment of Class D
and E Airspace, Proposed Revision of
Class E Airspace; Easton, MD
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This action proposes to
establish Class D, E2 and E4 airspace
and revise E5 airspace at Easton, MD. A
federal contract tower with a weather
reporting system is being constructed at
Easton Airport/Newnam Field.
Therefore, the airport will meet criteria
for Class D, E2, and E4 surface area
airspace. Class D surface area airspace
and Class E4 airspace designed as an
extension to Class D airspace is required
when the control tower is open to
contain Standard Instrument Approach
Procedures (SIAPs) and other
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations
at the airport. Class E2 surface area
airspace is required when the control
tower is closed to contain SIAPs and
other IFR operations at the airport. This
action would establish Class D and E2
airspace extending upward from the
surface to and including 2,600 feet MSL
within a 4-mile radius of the airport and
Class E4 airspace extension that is 5.4
miles wide and extends 7.4 miles
northeast of the Easton Non Directional
Beacon (NDB). Additionally, a technical
revision to Class E5 airspace is required
as a result of a name change from the
Easton Municipal Airport to Easton
Airport/Newnam Field, which was
effective May 25, 1993.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before October 22, 2007.

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 Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations, part 71 to establish Class D,
E2, and E4 airspace and revise Class E5
airspace at Easton, MD. Class D and E2
Airspace Designations for Airspace
Areas extending upward from the
surface of the Earth, Class E4 Airspace
Areas Designated as an Extension to a
Class D Surface Area and Class E5
Airspace Areas extending upward from
700 feet ore more above the surface of
the Earth are published in Paragraphs
5000, 6002, 6004 and 6005 respectively
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,
E2, E4 and E5 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.
