ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This action amends the Class D airspace area at Hayward, CA. The development of a Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 28L has made this action necessary. The intended effect of this action is to provide adequate controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Hayward Air Terminal, Hayward, CA. EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC December 5, 1996. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William Buck, Airspace Specialist, Operations Branch, AWP-530, Air Traffic Division, Western-Pacific Region, Federal Aviation Administration, 15000 Aviation Boulevard, Lawndale, California 90261, telephone (310) 725-6556. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On July 29, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending the Class D airspace area at Hayward, CA (61 FR 39367). This action will provide adequate controlled airspace to accommodate a GPS SIAP to RWY 28L at Hayward Air Terminal, Hayward, CA. 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 D airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9D dated September 4, 1996, and effective September 16, 1996, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in this Order. The Rule The amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) amends the Class D airspace area at Hayward, CA. The development of a GPS SIAP to RWY 28L has made this action necessary. The effect of this action will provide adequate airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 28L SIAP at Hayward Air Terminal, Hayward, CA. 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 52690]] 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.
