Amendment to Class E Airspace; Miami, FL
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This amendment modifies the Class E airspace area at Miami,
FL. A GPS RWY 9R Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) has been
developed for the North Perry Airport at Hollywood, FL. Additional
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface
(AGL) is needed to accommodate this SIAP and for IFR operations at the
airport. The operating status of the airport will change from VFR to
include IFR operations concurrent with publication of this SIAP.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, March 27, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Benny L. McGlamery, System Management Branch, Air Traffic Division,
Federal Aviation Administration, P.O. Box 20636, Atlanta, Georgia

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On October 21, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend Part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) by modifying Class E
airspace at Miami, FL (61 FR 54587). This action would provide adequate
Class E airspace for IFR operations at the North Perry 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. Designations for
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the
surface are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9D dated
September 4, 1996, and effective September 16, 1996. The Class E
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 (14
CFR part 71) modifies Class E airspace at Miami, FL. A GPS RWY 9R
Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) has been developed for
the North Perry Airport at Hollywood, FL. Additional controlled
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface (AGL) is
needed to accommodate this SIAP and for IFR operations at the airport.
The operating status of the airport will change from VFR to include IFR
operations concurrent with publication of this SIAP.
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 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
