SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
In order to meet federal mandates with regard to Base Realignment
and Closure, the U.S. Air Force ceased air operations at George AFB in
December 1992. The intended effect of this action is to revoke the
Class E airspace associated with George AFB airspace as published in
Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9F dated September 10, 1998, and
effective September 16, 1998, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document
would be subsequently removed from this Order.

The Rule
This amendment to Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) revokes previously designated controlled airspace
associated with George AFB.
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 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 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
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
