SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On April 1, 1995, the United States Navy vacated Guam, Agana NAS 
under the mandates of the Base Realignment and Closure Act. The airport 
was subsequently renamed Guam International Airport.
    Class D airspace is published in Paragraph 5000 FAA Order 7400.9F, 
Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated September 10, 1998, 
and effective September 16, 1998, through September 15, 1999, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace 
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in 
this Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 of the Federal Aviation 
Regulations renames Class D airspace at Guam Agana NAS, GU to Guam 
International Airport, GU.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves 
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
Therefore, this proposed 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 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 proposed rule would 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).
