SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The Fulton-Itawamba County Airport is within the Fulton, MS, Class 
E5 airspace area. The County of Itawamba, MS, has elected to close the 
Fulton-Itawamba County 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 Fulton-Itawamba County Airport, 
notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
    Class E airspace designations for areas extending upward from 700 
feet or more above the surface of the earth are published in paragraph 
6005 of FAA Order 7400.9G dated September 1, 1999, and effective 
September 16, 1999, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. 
The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will be 
removed subsequently from the Order.

The Rule

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