Amendment of Class D and E Airspace; Goldsboro, NC

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D and E5 airspace at Goldsboro, NC. 
As a result of an evaluation, it has been determined a modification 
should be made to the Goldsboro, NC, Class D and E5 airspace areas to 
contain the Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN) or Instrument Landing 
System (ILS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) to Seymour 
Johnson AFB. Additional surface area airspace and controlled airspace 
extending upward 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is needed to contain 
the SIAP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 13, 2004, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending Class D and E5 
airspace at Goldsboro, AL, (69 FR 19359). This action provides adequate 
Class D and E5 airspace for IFR operations at Seymour Johnson AFB. 
Designations for Class D airspace areas extending upward from the 
surface of the earth and Class E airspace designations for airspace 
areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the 
earth are published in Paragraphs 5000 and 6005 respectively, of FAA 
Order 7400.9L, dated September 2, 2004, and effective September 16, 
2004, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class 
D and E designations 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 and E5 airspace at Goldsboro, NC.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
