SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On February 12, 1997, the FAA proposed to amend Part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by revoking the Class E
airspace area at Goffs, CA (62 FR 9396).
This action will revoke the controlled airspace since the purpose
and requirements for the Class E airspace area are otherwise defined by
the Bullhead, CA, Class E airspace area.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposals to the FAA.
No comments to the proposal were received. Class E airspace
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
designations listed in this document will be removed subsequently in
this Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) revokes the Class E airspace area at Goffs, CA. A review
of airspace classification has made this action necessary. The intended
effect of this action is to revoke controlled airspace since the
purpose and requirements for the Class E airspace area are otherwise
defined by the Bullhead City, CA, Class E airspace area.
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 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
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
