14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2003-16534; Airspace Docket No. 03-ASO-19]


Establishment of Class D and E Airspace; Olive Branch, MS; 
Amendment of Class E Airspace; Memphis, TN

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: This action delays indefinitely the establishment of Class D 
and E4 airspace at Olive Branch, MS, and the amendment of Class E5 
airspace at Memphis, TN. The construction of a new federal contract 
tower with a weather reporting system has been delayed, with an 
uncertain completion date; therefore, the effective date of the 
establishment of Class D and E airspace and amendment of Class E 
airspace must also be delayed indefinitely.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the final rule published February 
3, 2004, at 69 FR 5009 (0901 UTC, April 15, 2004) is delayed 
indefinitely.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    Docket No. FAA-2003-16534, Airspace Docket No. 03-ASO-19, published 
in the Federal Register on February 3, 2004, (69 FR 5009), established 
Class D and E4 airspace at Olive Branch, MS, and amended Class E5 
airspace at Memphis, TN. The construction of a federal contract tower 
and weather reporting system at Olive Branch Airport made this action 
necessary. This action was originally scheduled to become effective on 
April 15, 2004; however, an unforeseen delay in beginning construction 
on the tower has required the effective date of this action to be 
delayed. A notice announcing a new effective date will be published in 
the Federal Register at least 90 days prior to the new effective date.
    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) so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only 
affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that 
this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
