SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On December 19, 2003, a notice proposing to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class E 
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 6-
mile radius of Lawrenceville/Brunswick Municipal Airport, 
Lawrenceville, VA was published in the Federal Register (68 FR 70746-
70747). Interested parties were invited to participate in this 
rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to 
the FAA on or before January 20, 2004. No comments to the proposal were 
received. The rule is adopted as proposed.
    The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. Class E airspace area designations for airspace 
extending upward from the surface of the earth are published in 
paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9L, dated September 2, 2003, and 
effective September 16, 2003, which is incorporated by reference in 14 
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will 
be published in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) provides controlled Class E airspace extending upward from 
700 feet above the surface for aircraft conducting IFR operations 
within a 6-mile radius of Lawrenceville/Brunswick Municipal Airport, 
Lawrenceville, VA.
    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 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 will not have significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
