from the surface is needed to accommodate the SIAP at Mc Entire ANGS. 
An extension via the 164 deg. bearing from the Mc Entire NDB for the 
NDB RWY 32 SIAP will be necessary. The length of the Class D airspace 
extension southeast of the NDB will be 6.3 miles, and the width of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On October 29, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending Class D 
airspace at Mc Entire ANGS, SC, (64 FR 209). This amendment modifies 
Class D airspace at Mc Entire ANGS. Designations for Class D airspace 
extending upward from the surface of the earth are published in FAA 
Order 7400.9G, dated September 1, 1999, and effective September 16, 
1999, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class 
D designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
the Order.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments objecting to the proposal were received.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) amends Class D airspace at Mc Entire ANGS, Eastover, SC.
    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.
