SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The Class D airspace at Hollywood, FL, is amended effective March 
27, 1997, to accommodate a GPS RWY 9R Standard Instrument Approach 
Procedure (SIAP) at North Perry Airport. The radius of the Class D 
airspace at Hollywood, FL, is a reference point in the Class D airspace 
description for Miami Opa Locka Airport, FL. Therefore, a technical 
amendment to the Class D airspace description for the Miami Opa Locka 
Airport, FL, is necessary. This action will have no impact on the 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 
only makes a technical amendment to the Class D airspace, which has no 
impact on users of the airspace in the vicinity of the Miami Opa Locka 
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) modified the Class D airspace description at Miami Opa 
Locka Airport, FL, to reflect the amendment to the Class D airspace at 
Hollywood, FL.
    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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
