The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify the Class D and E
airspace areas at Mountain View, CA. This proposed action is necessary
due to the renaming of Moffett Field NAS, CA, to Moffett Federal AFLD,
CA. This action also revises the Class D airspace area at Mountain
View, CA, to indicate when this airspace is effective. Class D and E
airspace designations are published in paragraphs 5000, 6002, and 6004
of FAA Order 7400.9B, dated July 18, 1994, and effective September 16,
1994, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D
and E airspace designations listed in this document would be published
subsequently in the 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.
