SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On December 2, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by modifying Class E
airspace at Deland, FL (61 FR 63765). This action would provide
adequate Class E airspace for IFR operations at Deland Muni-Sidney H.
Taylor Airport.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
One letter objecting to the proposal was received. The commentor stated
that operations at the Lafayette Landings Airport would be adversely
affected by amending the Deland Class E airspace. The Lafayette
Landings Airport lies under the current Deland Class E airspace, which
is being extended from a 7-mile to a 7.6-mile radius of the Deland
Muni-Sidney H. Taylor. Therefore, aircraft departing Lafayette Landings
Airport that desire to operate clear of this Class E airspace will have
to fly .6 of a mile further than they currently do to avoid this
airspace. The FAA considers this insignificant in view of the safety
required to accommodate aircraft executing SIAPs to Deland Muni-Sidney
H. Taylor Airport. 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 Deland, FL. An amendment to
the NDB or GPS RWY 30 SIAP has been developed for Deland Muni-Sidney H.
Taylor Airport. Additional controlled airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface (AGL) is needed to accommodate 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.
