A GPS RWY 9R Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) has been developed for the North Perry Airport at Hollywood, FL. Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface (AGL) is needed to accommodate this SIAP and for IFR operations at the airport. The operating status of the airport will change from VFR to include IFR operations concurrent with publication of this SIAP. EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, March 27, 1997. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Benny L. McGlamery, System Management Branch, Air Traffic Division, Federal Aviation Administration, P.O. Box 20636, Atlanta, Georgia 30320; telephone (404) 305-5570. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On October 21, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) by modifying Class E airspace at Miami, FL (61 FR 54587). This action would provide adequate Class E airspace for IFR operations at the North Perry Airport. 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. Designations for Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9D dated September 4, 1996, and effective September 16, 1996. 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) modifies Class E airspace at Miami, FL. A GPS RWY 9R Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) has been developed for the North Perry Airport at Hollywood, FL. Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface (AGL) is needed to accommodate this SIAP and for IFR operations at the airport. The operating status of the airport will change from VFR to include IFR operations concurrent with publication of this SIAP. 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.
