Area Navigation (RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs)
to several Runways (RWYS) have been developed for Indianapolis

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Friday, August 16, 2002, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part
71 to modify Class E airspace at Indianapolis, IN (67 FR 53531). The
proposal was to modify existing Class E airspace at Indianapolis
International Airport, IN, in order to protect for several new RNAV
SIAPs.
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. Class E airspace
areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the
earth are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9K dated August
30, 2002, and effective September 16, 2002, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E designations listed in this
document will be published subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies Class E airspace at
Indianapolis, IN, for Indianapolis International Airport. Controlled
airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of
the earth is needed to contain aircraft executing instrument approach
procedures. The area will be depicted on appropriate aeronautical
charts.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
establishment body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore this, regulation--(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 will not have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
