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.
