and Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, FL. As a result of the 
decommissioning of the Pompano Beach VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR),

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark D. Ward, Manager, Airspace and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    An internal evaluation determined that the legal description for 
the Class D airspace at Pompano Beach, FL and Fort Lauderdale Executive 
Airport, FL contains reference to a line made up of radials off the 
Pompano Beach VOR, which has been decommissioned. This action will 
amend the legal description by replacing the reference to a line made 
up of a VOR radial, with a line now made up of geographic coordinates. 
Designations for Class D airspace areas extending upward from the 
surface of the earth are published in Paragraphs 5000 of FAA Order 
7400.9N, dated September 1, 2005, and effective September 16, 2005, 
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class D 
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
the Order.
    Since this action has no impact on the users of the airspace in the 
vicinity of the Pompano Beach Airpark or Fort Lauderdale Executive 
Airport, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are not 
necessary.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) amends Class D airspace at Pompano Beach, FL and Fort 
Lauderdale Executive Airport, FL.
    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.
