14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 96-ASO-26]


Removal of Class E5 Airspace; Hemingway, SC

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This amendment removes Class E5 airspace at Hemingway, SC. 
There are no longer any Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP's) at the 
Hemingway-Stuckey Airport. Therefore, there is no longer a requirement 
for Class E5 airspace for the airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 30, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Benny L. McGlamery, Operations Branch, Air Traffic Division, Federal 
Aviation Administration, P.O. Box 20636, Atlanta, Georgia 30320; 
telephone (404) 305-5570.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    There are no longer any IAP's at the Hemingway-Stuckey Airport. 
Consequently, the airport no longer meets the criteria for Class E5 
airspace. This action will eliminate the impact that Class E5 airspace 
has placed on users of the airspace in the vicinity of the airport. 
This rule will become effective on the date specified in the DATES 
section. Since this action removes the Class E5 airspace, which 
eliminates the impact of Class E5 airspace on users of the airspace in 
the vicinity of the Hemingway-Stuckey Airport, notice and public 
procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.

The Rule

    This amendment to Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) removes Class E5 airspace at Hemingway, SC. There are no 
longer any IAP's at the Hemingway-Stuckey Airport. Therefore, there is 
no longer a requirement for Class E5 airspace for 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. 
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 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.
