SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On July 25, 1995 the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) by establishing Class E2 airspace
at Knoxville, TN, (60 FR 37970). This action would provide adequate
Class E2 airspace for IFR operations at the Knoxville Downtown Island
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 E airspace
areas designated as a surface area for an airport are published in
Paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9C dated August 17, 1995, and
effective September 16, 1995. The Class E airspace 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) establishes Class E2 airspace at Knoxville, TN, to
accommodate current SIAPs and for IFR operations at the Knoxville
Downtown Island Airport.
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
[[Page 53872]]
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).
