SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On July 29, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending the Class D airspace 
area at Hayward, CA (61 FR 39367). This action will provide adequate 
controlled airspace to accommodate a GPS SIAP to RWY 28L at Hayward Air 
Terminal, Hayward, CA.
    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 
designations are published in paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9D dated 
September 4, 1996, and effective September 16, 1996, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace 
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
this Order.

The Rule

    The amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) amends the Class D airspace area at Hayward, CA. The 
development of a GPS SIAP to RWY 28L has made this action necessary. 
The effect of this action will provide adequate airspace for aircraft 
executing the GPS RWY 28L SIAP at Hayward Air Terminal, Hayward, CA.
    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

[[Page 52690]]

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 a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
