SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On December 3, 1993, a proposal to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace at 
Texarkana, AR, was published in the Federal Register (58 FR 63903). 
Controlled airspace to the surface is needed during the hours that the 
control tower is closed. The proposal was to establish Class E airspace 
to contain IFR operations during the hours that the control tower is 
closed.
    Interested persons were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments were received. Other than editorial changes, this amendment 
is adopted as proposed. The coordinates for this airspace docket are 
based on North American Datum 83. Class E airspace areas designated as 
surface areas for airports are published in Paragraph 6002 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, 1994). 
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 
establishes Class E airspace at Texarkana, AR. Controlled airspace to 
the surface is needed for IFR operations during the hours that the 
control tower is closed.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations that need frequent and 
routine amendments 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.
