SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
FAA Order 7400.9A, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
dated June 17, 1993, and effective September 16, 1993, listed Class A,
Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E airspace areas and reporting points.
Due to the large number and frequent revision of these descriptions,
the FAA requested approval from the Office of the Federal Register to
incorporate the material by reference in Federal Aviation Regulations
(FAR) Sec. 71.1 (14 CFR 71.1). The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference of FAA Order 7400.9A in
Sec. 71.1 effective September 16, 1993, through September 15, 1994.
During the incorporation by reference period, the FAA processed all
proposed changes of the airspace listings in FAA Order 7400.9A in full
text as proposed rule documents in the Federal Register. Likewise, all
amendments of these listings were published in full text as final rules
in the Federal Register. This rule reflects the periodic integration of
these final rule amendments into a revised edition of Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, Order 7400.9B. The Director of the
Federal Register has approved the incorporation by reference of FAA
Order 7400.9B in Sec. 71.1 as of September 16, 1994, through September
15, 1995. This rule also explains the procedures FAA will use to amend
the airspace designations incorporated by reference in part 71.
Sec. Sec. 71.5, 71.31, 71.33, 71.41, 71.51, 71.61, 71.71, 71.79, and
71.901 are also updated to reflect the incorporation by reference of
FAA Order 7400.9B.
The Rule
This action amends part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations to
reflect the approval by the Director of the Federal Register of the
incorporation by reference of FAA Order 7400.9B effective September 16,
1994, through September 15, 1995. During the incorporation by reference
period, the FAA will continue to process all proposed changes of the
airspace listings in FAA Order 7400.9B in full text as proposed rule
documents in the Federal Register. Likewise, all amendments of these
listings will be published in full text as final rules in the Federal
Register. The FAA will periodically integrate all final rule amendments
into a revised edition of the Order, and submit the revised edition to
the Director of the Federal Register for approval for incorporation by
reference in Sec. 71.1.
The FAA has determined that this action: (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. This
action neither places any new restrictions or requirements on the
public, nor changes the dimensions or operating requirements of the
airspace listings incorporated by reference in part 71. Consequently,
notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
