The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend the Class D airspace 
area at Hayward, CA. The development of GPS SIAP at Hayward Air 
Terminal has made this proposal necessary. The intended effect of this 
proposal is to provide adequate Class D airspace for aircraft executing 
the GPS RWY 28L SIAP at Hayward Air Terminal, Hayward, CA. Class D 
airspace designations are published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 
7400.9D dated September 4, 1996, and effective September 16, 1996, 
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace 
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in 
the Order.
    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. 
Therefore, this proposed 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 proposed rule would not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
