SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On March 1, 1993, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by modifying Class D airspace at 
Luke Air Force Base, AZ (58 FR 58311). This action will realign the 
Class D airspace for instrument flight rules (IFR) operations. The Luke 
Air Force Base TACAN was relocated from lat. 33 deg.32'06'' N, long. 
112 deg.22'59'' W to lat. 33 deg.32'16'' N, long. 112 deg.22'49'' W.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments to the proposal were received. Class D airspace is 
published in Paragraph 5000 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 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 
amends 

[[Page 3742]]
Class D airspace at Luke Air Force Base, AZ. This action will realign 
the extensions to contain instrument flight rules (IFR) operations 
because the Luke Air Force Base TACAN was relocated.
    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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace safety, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
