History
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On May 10, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class D airspace for
the Medford, Portland-Hillsboro, and Salem Airports, Oregon, (59 FR
24037). Interested parties were invited to participate in the
rulemaking process by submitting such written data, views, or arguments
as they desired. No comments were received.
Airspace reclassification, in effect as of September 16, 1993, has
discontinued use of the term ``control zone,'' replacing it with the
designation ``Class D airspace.'' Class D airspace designations for
airspace areas extending upward from the surface of the earth are
published in paragraph 5000 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 D airspace
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the Order. The coordinates in this final rule are in North American
Datum 83.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
amends Class D airspace at Medford, Portland-Hillsboro, and Salem,
Oregon. It will provide information regarding hours of operation in
these airspace descriptions. 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
regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since
this is 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.
