ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E5 airspace at Millington, TN, by 
revoking the airspace for the Arlington Municipal Airport. The City of 
Arlington, TN, has closed the Arlington Municipal Airport. Therefore, 
the Class E5 airspace for the Arlington Municipal Airport must be 
revoked. This airspace is part of the Millington, TN, Class E5 airspace 
area.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy B. Shelton, Manager, Airspace 
Branch, Air Traffic Division, Federal Aviation Administration, P.O. Box 
20626, Atlanta, Georgia 30320; telephone (404) 305-5627.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    The Arlington Municipal Airport is within the Millington, TN, Class 
E5 airspace area. The City of Arlington, TN, has elected to close the 
Arlington Municipal Airport. Therefore, the Class E5 airspace must be 
revoked. This rule will become effective on the date specified in the 
``DATE'' section. Since this action removes the Class E5 airspace, and 
as a result, eliminates the impact of Class E5 airspace on users of the 
airspace in the vicinity of the Arlington Municipal Airport, notice and 
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.

The Rule

    This amendment to Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) removes Class E5 airspace at Arlington, TN.
    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.
