Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final
regulatory action.
The Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish
Class E airspace at Geneva, AL,
providing the controlled airspace
required to support the new RNAV
(GPS) standard instrument approach
procedures for Geneva Municipal
Airport. Controlled airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
is required for IFR operations within a
7.3-mile radius of the airport.
Class E airspace designations are
published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA
order 7400.9X, dated August 7, 2013,
and effective September 15, 2013, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designation
listed in this document will 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
proposed rule, when promulgated,
would not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
The FAA’s authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in
Title 49 of the United States Code.
Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator.
Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the
agency’s authority. This proposed
rulemaking is promulgated under the
authority described in Subtitle VII, Part,
A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that
section, the FAA is charged with
prescribing regulations to assign the use
of airspace necessary to ensure the
safety of aircraft and the efficient use of
airspace. This proposed regulation is
within the scope of that authority as it
would establish Class E airspace at
Geneva Municipal Airport, Geneva, AL.
This proposal will be subject to an
environmental analysis in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E,

The FAA is considering an

Class E airspace as an extension to a
Class C surface area at Nashville, TN,
providing the controlled airspace
required to support the new RNAV
(GPS) standard instrument approach
procedures for Nashville International
Airport. Accordingly, a segment of
controlled airspace would extend from
the 5-mile radius of the airport to 11.7miles south of the airport, and a
segment would extend from the 5-mile
radius of the airport to 8.9 miles
southwest of the airport.
Class E airspace designations are
published in Paragraph 6003 of FAA
order 7400.9X, dated August 7, 2013,
and effective September 15, 2013, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish Class E airspace at
Blairsville, GA, providing the controlled airspace required to support
the new RNAV (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures for
Blairsville Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface is required for IFR operations within a 16-mile
radius of the airport.
Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6005 of
FAA order 7400.9X, dated August 7, 2013, and effective September 15,
2013, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will 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 proposed rule, when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This proposed rulemaking is promulgated under the authority
