DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 95-AWP-7]


Amendment of Class E Airspace Areas

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace areas at Hilo 
International, General Field, HI, Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Station 
(MCAS), HI, Lihue Airport, HI, and Crows Landing Naval Auxiliary 
Landing Field (NALF), CA. Presently, the Class E2 airspace areas at 
Hilo, HI, Kaneohe MCAS, HI, and Lihue, HI, are incorrectly referenced 
in the Airport/Facility Directory. This action will correct that error 
by properly referencing these Class E airspace areas in the Airport/
Facility Directory, Pacific Chart Supplement. This action also corrects 
an error in the geographic coordinates of the E2 airspace area at Crows 
Landing NALF, CA, and the E4 airspace area at Hilo, HI.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, July 20, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Rule

    This action correctly references the Class E2 airspace areas at 
Hilo, HI, Kaneohe MCAS, HI, and Lihue, HI, in the Airport/Facility 
Directory of the Pacific Chart Supplement. This action also corrects an 
error in the geographic coordinates of the E2 airspace area at Crows 
Landing NALF, CA, and the E4 airspace area at Hilo, HI. This action is 
editorial in nature. I find that notice and public procedure under 5 
U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary, because this action is a minor technical 
amendment in which the public is not particularly interested. Class E 
airspace designations are published in paragraphs 6002 and 6004 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 E airspace 
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
the Order.
    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 not 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.
