Documents for Incorporation by

This document proposes to amend

dated August 3, 2016, and effective
September 15, 2016. FAA Order
7400.11A is publicly available as listed

pmangrum on DSK3GDR082PROD with PROPOSALS
The Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface within a 6mile radius of Forrest General Hospital
Heliport, Hattiesburg, MS, providing the
controlled airspace required to support
the new Copter RNAV (GPS) standard
instrument approach procedures for IFR
operations at Forrest General Hospital
Heliport.
Class E airspace designations are
published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016,
and effective September 15, 2016, 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.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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, will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
