-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This amendment modifies the Class E airspace area at New York,
NY to accommodate a planned Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) at the Lincoln Park Airport,
Lincoln Park, NJ. This amendment also corrects the description of the
New York, NY Class E Airspace Area published as a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking in the Federal Register April 30, 1996 (61 FR 19001). The
intended effect of this action is to provide adequate controlled
airspace for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Lincoln Park

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On April 30, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend Part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) by establishing a Class E
airspace area at New York, NY (61 FR 19001). The
[[Page 40962]]
development of a GPS SIAP at Lincoln Park Airport, Lincoln Park, NJ
made this action necessary. This action also corrects the description
of the New York, NY Class E airspace as it was published in the Notice
Of Proposed Rulemaking.
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 E airspace
areas designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9C, dated August 17, 1995, and effective September 16, 1995, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 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) amends the Class E airspace area at New York, NY. The
development of a GPS SIAP at Lincoln Park Airport, Lincoln Park, NJ has
made this action necessary. The intended effect of this action is to
provide adequate Class E airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 19
SIAP at the airport.
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 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).
