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
