SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On May 27, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend the Ephrata, Washington,
Class E airspace area (59 FR 27512). A review of the airspace
description revealed an overlap of airspace between Ephrata Municipal
Airport, Washington, and Moses Lake, Grant County Airport, Washington.
This action corrects that error.
The area will be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot
reference. Interested parties were invited to participate in the
rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal.
No comments were received. Airspace reclassification, in effect as of
September 16, 1994, has discontinued the use of the term ``transition
area,'' and airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the
surface of the earth is now Class E airspace. The coordinates for this
airspace docket are based on North American Datum 83. Class E airspace
designations for airspace areas designated as a surface area for an
airport are published in Paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9B dated July
18, 1994, and effective September 16, 1994, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in
this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of Federal Aviation Regulations amends
Class E airspace at Ehprata, Washington. 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
