Sabre Army Heliport.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Request for Comments on the Rule

    Although this action is in the form of a final rule, which involves 
correcting the coordinates of the Sabre Army Heliport and as a 
consequence the depiction of the Fort Campbell Class D and Class E 
airspace, and was not preceded by notice and public procedure, comments 
are invited on the rule. This rule will become effective on the date 
specified in the DATES section. However, after the review of any 
comments and, if the FAA finds that further changes are appropriate, it 
will initiate rulemaking proceedings to extend the effective date or to 
amend the regulation.
    Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the views and 
suggestions presented are particularly helpful in evaluating the 
effects of the rule and in determining whether additional rulemaking is 
needed. Comments are specifically invited on the overall regulatory, 
aeronautical, economic, environmental, and energy-related aspects of 
the rule that might suggest the need to modify the rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) corrects the geographic position coordinates of the Sabre 
Army Heliport and as a consequence the depiction of the Fort Campbell, 
KY, Class D and Class E airspace. The coordinates for this airspace 
docket are based on North American Datum 83. Class D and Class E 
airspace designations are published in Paragraphs 5000 and 6005 
respectively 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 D and Class E airspace listed in this document will be 
published subsequently in the Order.
    Under the circumstances presented, the FAA concludes that there is 
an immediate need for a regulation to correct the geographic position 
coordinates of the Sabre Army Heliport and as a consequence the 
depiction of the Fort Campbell, KY, Class D and Class E airspace, in 
order to improve air safety. Therefore, I find that notice and public 
procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary to the 
public interest.
    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.
