The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish a Class E airspace 
at Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. A Runway 8R SIAP to serve the North 
County General Aviation Airport based on the Pahokee VORTAC has been 
developed. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface, is needed to contain IFR operations when utilizing this SIAP. 
The intended effect of this proposal is to provide adequate Class E 
airspace for IFR operators executing the developed SIAP. The 
coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American Datum 
83. Designations for Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet or 
more above the surface of the earth are published in 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 effective 
September 16, 1993. The Class E 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.
