The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to modify the
Class D and Class E surface areas at Ernest A. Love Field (PRC) in
Prescott, AZ. A review of airspace and airport operations has made this
proposed action necessary. This action would modify the PRC Class D and
Class E surface areas to include airspace extending upward from the
surface to and including 7,500 feet MSL within a 6-mile radius of
Ernest A. Love Field. The intended effect of this proposal is to
provide adequate controlled airspace for aircraft operations at
Prescott, AZ. Class D airspace designations are published in paragraph
5000 and Class E surface areas are published in paragraph 6002, both in
FAA Order 7400.9L dated September 2, 2003, and effective September 16,
2003, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D
and 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.
Therefore, this proposed 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 proposed rule would not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
