The Class E designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments objecting to the proposal were received. The Rule This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 establishes Class E airspace at Gainesville, FL, to provide controlled airspace required to support the new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) helicopter point in space approach at Shands Hospital. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On May 11, 2006 the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E airspace at Forest Hill, MD. (71 FR 27429). An original SIAP has been developed for this airport and this action provides adequate Class E airspace for IFR operations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On May 11, 2006 the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E airspace at Forest 
Hill, MD. (71 FR 27429). An original SIAP has been developed for this 
airport and this action provides adequate Class E airspace for IFR 
operations. Designations for Class E5 airspace areas extending upward 
from 700 fee 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 part 71.1. The Class E designations listed in this document will be 
published subsequently in the Order.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments objecting to the proposal were received, however, in 
revalidating the proposed dimension of the airspace, it was found that 
the radius had been miscalculated and is actually 6.4 miles instead of 
6.0 miles as proposed. Although it is believed that the corrected 
radius would not adversely affect airspace users, a 30-day comment 
period is being provided to give interested persons an opportunity to 
comment on the change.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 establishes Class E5 airspace at Forest Hill, MD, to provide 
controlled airspace required to support the new Area Navigation (RNAV) 
Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 31 SIAP at Forest Hill 
Airport.
    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.
