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


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

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION:  Final rule; confirmation of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: This action confirms the new effective date for 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 was delayed; 
therefore, the effective date of the establishment of Class D and E4 
airspace and amendment of Class E5 airspace was also delayed.

DATES: The effective date of April 15, 2004, published on February 3, 
2004, (69 FR 5009), and subsequently delayed indefinitely (69 FR 8555), 
is now 0901 UTC, May 12, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    Docket No. 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 with a 
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 required the effective date of this action to be delayed. 
Construction is now nearing completion.
    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.
