SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On January 13, 1997, the FAA proposed to amend Part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) by modifying Class D, E2
and E4 airspace at Gainesville, FL. (62 FR 1699). This action would
provide adequate Class D, E2 and E4 airspace for IFR operations at the
Gainesville Regional Airport. Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments objecting to the
proposal were received. Class D, E2 and E4 airspace designations are
published in Paragraphs 5000, 6002 and 6004, respectively, 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, E2 and
E4 airspace
[[Page 11074]]
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) modifies Class D and E2 airspace at Gainesville, FL. GPS
RWY 6 and GPS RWY 24 SIAPs have been developed for the Gainesville
Regional Airport. Additional controlled airspace extending upward from
the surface is needed to accommodate these SIAPs.
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 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 regulatary 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.
