SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On July 29, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) to establish Class E airspace at 
Hazelton Municipal Airport, PA (59 FR 42535). The proposal would 
establish that amount of controlled airspace as deemed necessary by the 
FAA to contain aircraft utilizing existing IFR procedures to and from 
the airport.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments objecting to the proposal were received.
    Airspace Reclassification, in effect as of September 16, 1993, has 
discontinued the use of the term ``Transition Area,'' and Transition 
Area 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 for airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface of the earth 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 
establishes Class E airspace at Hazelton, PA, to contain aircraft 
utilizing existing IFR procedures to and from the Hazelton Municipal 
Airport, PA.
    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.
