The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify the Class E airspace
area at Luke AFB, AZ, and Class D airspace area at Glendale, AZ. The
relocation of the Luke AFB TACAN has made this proposal necessary. The
intended effect of this proposal is to provide adequate Class E and
Class D airspace for aircraft executing instrument approach procedures
at Luke AFB, AZ, and Glendale, AZ. Class E and Class D airspace
designations are published in paragraphs 6002 and 5000 of FAA Order
7400.9B, dated July 1994, and effective September 16, 1994, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E and Class D
airspace designations listed in this document would be published
subsequently in this Order.
The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed 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 proposed rule will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
