SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    In 1999, the United States Navy vacated NAS Barbers Point under the 
mandates of the Base Realignment and Closure Act. The airport was 
renamed Kalaeloa, John Rogers Field on September 9, 1999. The existing 
legal description for the Honolulu International Airport Class E5 
airspace area still refers to NAS Barbers Point. This rule amends that 
description to reflect the correct name of Kalaeloa, John Rogers Field. 
It does not change the dimensions, configuration, or operating 
requirements of the affected airspace.
    Class E5 airspace is published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 
7400.9J, Airpsace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 31, 
2001 and effective September 16, 2002, which is incorporated by 
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E5 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 amend the Class E5 airspace for Honolulu.
    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. 
Therefore, this regulation--(1) is no 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 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 14 CFR Part 71
