    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    
    History
    
        On November 20, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
    Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing a Class D 
    airspace area at Victorville, CA (61 FR 59040). This action will 
    provide adequate controlled airspace to accommodate IFR operations at 
    Southern California International Airport, Victorville, CA.
        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 
    designations are published in paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9D dated 
    September 4, 1996, and effective September 16, 1996, which is 
    incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace 
    designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
    this Order.
    
    The Rule
    
        This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
    CFR part 71) establishes Class D airspace area at Victorville, CA. The 
    extension of Southern California Air Traffic Control Tower operating 
    hours has made this action necessary. The effect of this action will 
    provide adequate controlled airspace for IFR operations at Southern 
    California International Airport, Victorville, CA.
        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 10034; 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.
