SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On January 13, 1997, the FAA proposed to amend Part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) by modifying Class D and 
E2 airspace at Orlando, FL. (62 FR 1698). This action would provide 
adequate Class D and E2 airspace for IFR operations at the Orlando 
Executive 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 D and E2 
airspace designations are published in Paragraphs 5000 and 5000, 
respectively, 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 D and E2 airspace designations 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 D and E2 airspace at Orlando, FL. GPS RWY 7 
and GPS RWY 25 SIAPs have been developed for the Orlando Executive 
Airport. Additional controlled airspace extending upward from the 
surface is needed to accommodate these SIAPs.
    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

[[Page 11075]]

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.
