    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.
