include the airspace within Warning

Areas W–370A, W–373A and W–373C,

in order to facilitate the handling,

reduce the coordination and increase

the safety of United States military

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On November 24, 1999, the FAA

proposed to amend part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) by amending Class E airspace

at Puerto Rico, PR, (64 FR 226). This

amendment modifies Class E airspace at

Puerto Rico, PR. Designations for Class

E airspace extending upward from 700

feet or more above the surface of the

earth are published in FAA Order

7400.9G, dated September 1, 1999, and

effective September 16, 1999, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

part 71.1. The Class E designation 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 E airspace at

Puerto Rico, PR.

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)

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 a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On November 23, 1999, 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 at Brownsville Hospital

Heliport, Brownsville, PA was

published in the Federal Register (64

FR 65668). Interested parties were

invited to participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments to the proposal were

received. The rule is adopted as

proposed.

The coordinates for the airspace

docket are based on North American

Datum 83. Class E airspace areas

designations for airspace extending

upward from 700 feet AGL are

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9G, dated September 10,

1999 and effective September 16, 1999,

which is incorporated by reference in 14

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace

designation listed in this document will

be amended in the order.

The Rule

This amendment to Part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

71) provides controlled Class E airspace

extending upward from 700 feet AGL for

aircraft executing an SIAP at

Brownsville Hospital Heliport.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation only involves an established

body of technical regulations for which

frequent and routing 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.
