The Proposal

This notice proposes to amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace designated as a surface area for an airport at Monett, MO. Controlled airspace extending upward from the surface of the earth is needed to contain aircraft executing instrument approach procedures to Monett Municipal Airport. Weather observations would be provided by an Automatic Weather Observing/Reporting System (AWOS) and communications would be direct with Springfield Terminal Radar Approach Control Facility.

This notice also proposes to revise the Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Monett, MO. An examination of this Class E airspace area for Monett, MO revealed noncompliance with FAA directives. This proposal would correct identified discrepancies by increasing the area from a 6.5mile to a 7.5mile radius of Monett Municipal Airport, eliminating the extension to the airspace area, correcting errors in the Monett Municipal Airport airport reference point, defining airspace of appropriate dimensions to protect aircraft departing and executing instrument approach procedures to Monett Municipal Airport and brining the airspace area into compliance with FAA directives. Both areas would be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts.

Class E airspace areas designated as surface areas are published in Paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9M, dated August 30, 2004, and effective September 16, 2004, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth are published in Paragraph 6005 of the same Order. The Class E 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 effect 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.

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 the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This proposed regulation is within the scope of that authority since it would contain aircraft executing instrument approach procedures to Monett Municipal Airport.
