SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On December 17, 1993, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by revoking the Class D 
airspace at Fritzsche AAF, Ft. Ord, California. As a result of the Base 
Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Committee recommendations, Fritzsche AAF 
has closed and the associated weather reporting has been discontinued. 
Therefore, the FAA is revoking the Fritzsche AAF Class D airspace. The 
Salinas, CA Class D airspace designation will also be revised to 
reflect this action.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in the rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments were received.
    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; 
June 6, 1993). The Class D 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 
revokes the Fritzsche AAF Class D airspace. The Salinas CA Class D 
airspace designation will also be revised to reflect this action.
    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
