SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    Since the Lexington Municipal Airport, NC, has been renamed the 
Davidson County Airport, the Class E5

[[Page 10387]]

airspace description must be amended to reflect this change. Since this 
amendment is technical in nature and does not change the dimensions of 
the Class E airspace area, it has no impact on users of the airspace. 
This rule will become effective on the date specified in the EFFECTIVE 
DATE section.

The Rule

    This amendment to Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) makes a technical amendment to the Class E5 airspace 
description at Lexington, NC, by changing the airport name to Davidson 
County Airport and updating the airport coordinates.
    Class E airspace areas 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 
area listed in this document will be published subsequently in the 
Order.
    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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
