SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On August 22, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise Class E 
Airspace in the vicinity of New York, NY (59 FR 46206). The proposal 
would establish additional controlled airspace extending upward from 
700 feet above the surface of the earth for IFR procedures at the 
Teterboro, NJ, Airport.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
One comment was submitted concurring with the proposal.
    Airspace Reclassification, in effect as of September 16, 1993, has 
discontinued the use of the term ``Transition Area,'' and certain 
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the 
surface of the earth is now Class E airspace. Except for editorial 
changes, this amendment is the same as that proposed in the notice. 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 will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
revises Class E airspace in the vicinity of New York, NY, for aircraft 
utilizing SIAPS at the Teterboro, NJ, 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. 
Therefore, this regulation: (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.
