Hollywood North Perry Airport, FL
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This amendment modifies the Class D airspace areas at Miami
Opa Locka Airport, FL, and Hollywood North Perry Airport, FL. As a
result of a recent airspace review of the Class D airspace areas at
both locations, it was determined that additional controlled airspace
extending upward from the surface is needed to accommodate Instrument
Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the Opa Locka and North Perry
Airports.
DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, September 11, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On April 14, 1997, the FAA proposed to amend Part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) by modifying Class D airspace at
Miami Opa Locka Airport, FL and Hollywood North Perry Airport, FL, (62
FR 18065). This action would provide adequate Class D airspace for IFR
operations at the Opa Locka and North Perry Airports.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments objecting 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
designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) modifies the Class D airspace at Miami Opa Locka Airport,
FL, and Hollywood North Perry Airport, FL, to provided the additional
controlled airspace required to accommodate IFR operations at the Opa
Locka and North Perry Airports.
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.
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 that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it
[[Page 39431]]
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).
