Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) at the Lincoln Park Airport,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On April 30, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend Part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) by establishing a Class E 
airspace area at New York, NY (61 FR 19001). The

[[Page 40962]]

development of a GPS SIAP at Lincoln Park Airport, Lincoln Park, NJ 
made this action necessary. This action also corrects the description 
of the New York, NY Class E airspace as it was published in the Notice 
Of Proposed Rulemaking.
    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. Class E airspace 
areas designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 
7400.9C, dated August 17, 1995, and effective September 16, 1995, 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 (14 
CFR Part 71) amends the Class E airspace area at New York, NY. The 
development of a GPS SIAP at Lincoln Park Airport, Lincoln Park, NJ has 
made this action necessary. The intended effect of this action is to 
provide adequate Class E airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 19 
SIAP at the 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 10034; 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 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
