The relocation of Restricted Area, R-3806 has made this rule necessary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On August 23, 1994, a proposal to amend 14 CFR part 71 to revise 
Class E airspace at Oakdale, LA, was published in the Federal Register 
(59 FR 43307). The proposal was to revise controlled airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet AGL at Allen Parish Airport, Oakdale, LA. The 
relocation of Restricted Area, R-3806 has made this rule necessary. The 
intended effect of the proposal was to provide adequate Class E 
airspace to contain aircraft executing the NDB SIAP at Allen Parish 
Airport, Oakdale, LA.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments to the proposal were received. The rule is adopted as 
proposed with the exception of minor editorial changes.
    The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. Designated Class E airspace areas are published in 
Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9F, dated September 10, 1998, and 
effective September 16, 1998, 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 14 CFR Part 71 revises Class E airspace, at 
Oakdale, LA, extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 
6.5-mile radius of the Allen Parish Airport, Oakdale, LA.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations that require frequent and 
routine amendments 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
