SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On May 18, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class E airspace at 
Nashville International Airport, Nashville, Tennessee (59 FR 28498). 
Runways 2C and 20C have been extended. The action amends Class E 
airspace to contain IFR operations within controlled airspace for these 
runways. This action extends the Class E Airspace from 700 feet above 
the surface from the current 10-mile radius to a 15-mile radius of the 
Nashville International airport. Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written 
comments on the proposal to the Federal Aviation Administration (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 Class E airspace extending upward from 700 
feet or more above the surface are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA 
Order 7400.9A dated June 17, 1993, and effective September 16, 1993. 
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 
amends the Class E airspace at Nashville, Tennessee, to provide for 
additional controlled airspace from 700 feet above the surface for 
aircraft executing an Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) 
into the Nashville International Airport.
    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
