[Docket No. FAA-200-28869; Airspace Docket No. 07-ACE-11]
Proposed Establishment of Class E5 Airspace; Tarkio, MO
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action proposes to establish Class E airspace at Gould
Peterson Municipal Airport, Tarkio, MO. The development of an Area
Navigation (RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to
serve flights operating into the Gould Peterson Municipal Airport
during Instrumental Flight Rules (IFR) conditions makes this action
necessary. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above
Ground Level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft executing an approach.
The area would be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 1, 2007.

The Proposal
The FAA is proposing to amend Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E airspace at Tarkio, MO.
Controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft using the new
RNAV(GPS) IAP at Gould Peterson Municipal Airport. This action would
enhance the safety and management of aircraft operations at Gould
Peterson Municipal Airport, Tarkio, MO.
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
7400.9P, dated September 1, 2006, and effective September 16, 2006,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. 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 affect 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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (Air).
The Proposed Amendment
In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation
Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows:
