SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On December 27, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend Part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) by establishing Class E
airspace at Canandaigua, NY (61 FR 68172). This action would provide
adequate Class E airspace for IFR operations at Canandaigua 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.
Class E airspace areas designations are published in paragraph 6005
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
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) establishes Class E airspace area at Canandaigua, NY, to
accommodate a GPS RWY 13 and for IFR operations at Canandaigua 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.
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 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 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
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
