needed to contain aircraft executing the approach to the Robert Packer
Hospital.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On March 30, 2006 a notice proposing to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class E
airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) from
an RNAV, Helicopter Point in Space Approach to the Robert Packer
Hospital, Sayre, PA, was published in the Federal Register. Interested
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by
submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA on or before May
30, 2006. No comments to the proposal were received. The rule is
adopted as proposed. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based
on North American Datum 83.
Class E airspace areas designations for airspace extending upward
from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth are published in
paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9, dated September 1, 2006 and
effective September 15, 2006, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will
be amended in the order.
The Rule
This amendment to Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) provides controlled Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface for aircraft conducting Instrument Flight
Rules (IFR) operations at the Robert Packer Hospital, Sayre, PA.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established 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
[[Page 60819]]
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
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
