14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 98-ASO-8]
Amendment to Class E Airspace; Tallahassee, FL
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This amendment is necessary to reflect a change in the name of
the Tallahassee VHF Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation
(VORTAC) of the Seminole VORTAC.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, October 8, 1998.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy B. Shelton, Manager, Airspace
Branch, Air Traffic Division, Federal Aviation Administration, P.O. Box
20636, Atlanta, Georgia 30320; telephone (404) 305-5586.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
The name of the navigation aid serving the Tallahassee Regional
Airport, FL, has been changed from the Tallahassee VORTAC to the
Seminole
[[Page 40645]]
VORTAC to eliminate confusion in describing the navigation aid and the
airport. This action will have no impact on the users of the airspace.
This rule will become effective on the date specified in the DATES
section. Since this action is technical in nature and does not change
the airspace design and, therefore, has no impact on the users of the
airspace, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
unnecessary.
Designations for Class E Airspace Areas Designated as an Extension
are published in FAA Order 7400.9E dated September 10, 1997, and
effective September 16, 1997, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR part 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) modifies the Class E airspace description at Tallahassee,
FL, to reflect the name change of the Tallahassee VORTAC to Seminole
VORTAC.
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.
