SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On December 6, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing a Class E
[[Page 2714]]
airspace area at North Las Vegas Air Terminal, Las Vegas, NV (60 FR
62351). The development of a GPS SIAP at North Las Vegas Air Terminal
has made this action necessary.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments to the proposal were received. Class E airspace
designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9C,
dated August 17, 1995, and effective September 16, 1995, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. Class E airspace designations
listed in this document will be published subsequently in this Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) establishes a Class E airspace area at North Las Vegas Air
Terminal, Las Vegas, NV. The development of a CPS SIAP at North Las
Vegas Air Terminal has made this action necessary. The intended effect
of this action is to provide adequate Class E airspace for aircraft
executing the GPS RWY 12 SIAP at North Las Vegas Air Terminal, Las
Vegas, NV.
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 FR 10034; 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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
