The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 17) to establish additional Class E 
airspace at New York, NY. The intended effect of this proposal is to 
provide additional controlled airspace down to 700' above ground level 
for IFR operations at Teterboro Airport, NJ. The coordinates for this 
airspace docket are based on North American Datum 83. Class E airspace 
designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9B, 
Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, 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 
would be published subsequently in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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, when promulgated, this proposed rule will not have 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
under criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
