Kenneth R. Patterson, Airspace Section, System Management Branch, Air

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On November 19, 1993, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend the Offshore 
Airspace Area at Puerto Rico. The intended effect of this action is to 
eliminate the exclusionary language in the legal description (58 FR 
64525). 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.
    The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. This amendment is the same as that proposed in the 
notice. Designations for Offshore Airspace Areas are published in 
Paragraph 6007 of FAA Order 7400.9A dated June 17, 1993, and effective 
September 16, 1993. The offshore 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 
amends the Offshore Airspace Area at Puerto Rico to remove the 
exclusionary language from the legal description.
    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

    Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (Air).
