SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On March 1, 1993, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by modifying Class D airspace at
Luke Air Force Base, AZ (58 FR 58311). This action will realign the
Class D airspace for instrument flight rules (IFR) operations. The Luke
Air Force Base TACAN was relocated from lat. 33 deg.32'06'' N, long.
112 deg.22'59'' W to lat. 33 deg.32'16'' N, long. 112 deg.22'49'' W.
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 is
published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9B dated July 18, 1994,
and effective September 16, 1994, which is incorporated by reference in
14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace designation listed in this document
will be published subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
amends
[[Page 3742]]
Class D airspace at Luke Air Force Base, AZ. This action will realign
the extensions to contain instrument flight rules (IFR) operations
because the Luke Air Force Base TACAN was relocated.
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.
