SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On April 21, 1997, the FAA proposed to amend Part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by revoking the Class E airspace
area at El Rico, CA (62 FR 19238). This action revokes the Class E
airspace area at El Rico, CA. The cancellation of instrument approach
procedures at El Rico Airport has made this action necessary. The
intended effect of this action is to revoke controlled airspace since
the purpose and requirements for the airspace area no longer exist at
El Rico Airport, El Rico, CA.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposals to the FAA.
No comments to the proposal were received. Class E airspace
designations are published in paragraph 6005 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 E airspace
designations listed in this document will be removed subsequently in
this Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) revokes the Class E airspace area at El Rico, CA. The
cancellation of instrument approach procedures at El Rico Airport has
made this action necessary. The intended effect of this action is to
revoke controlled airspace since the purpose and requirements for the
airspace area no longer exist at El Rico Airport, El Rico, 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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
