The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify the Class D airspace at
Glenview, IL. A review of the Glenview, IL, Class D airspace found an
oversight regarding ground elevation. As a result of this finding the
Class D airspace legal description for Glenview Naval Air Station
(NAS), Glenview, IL, requires modification. The modification would
change the words in the description from: ``upward from the surface to
and including 3,000 feet MSL'' to: ``upward from the surface to and
including 3,200 feet MSL''. No other changes are being proposed.
The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. Class D airspace designations 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 designation listed in
this document would be published subsequently in the Order.
The FAA has determined that this proposed 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, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
