    The Proposal
    
        The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
    Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class E airspace at 
    Nashville International Airport, Tennessee. Runways 2C and 20C have 
    been extended. The Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
    above the surface is proposed to be extended from a 10-mile radius to a 
    15-mile radius of the Nashville International Airport to contain IFR 
    operations within controlled airspace for these runways. The 
    coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American Datum 
    83. Designations of Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet or 
    more above the surface are published on Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 
    7400.9A dated June 17, 1993, and effective September 16, 1993, which is 
    incorporated by reference in CFR 71.1 effective September 16, 1993. The 
    Class E airspace designation listed in this document would be published 
    subsequently in the Order.
        The FAA has determined that this proposed 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 than 
    will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
    certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
    economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
    criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
