SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On May 4, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish and modify Class E
airspace at Lompoc, CA. (59 FR 23034). Controlled airspace extending
from the surface and a 700 foot transition area is needed for aircraft
executing the approach.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceedings by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No objections were received concerning this proposal.
The coordinates in the proposal are based on North American Datum
83. Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6002 and
Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9A dated June 17, 1993, and effective
September 16, 1993, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1
(58 FR 36298; July 6, 1993).
The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be
published subsequently in this Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
establishes Class E airspace extending from the surface at Lompoc, CA,
and modifies controlled airspace from 700 to 1200 feet AGL at the
Lompoc Municipal Airport at Lompoc, 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.
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 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).
