The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

modify the legal description of Class E

airspace at Akron, OH, by removing the

statement which indicates less than

continuous times of operation for the

airspace. The legal description no longer

reflects the actual times of operation,

which are continuous. This action

would correct the legal description for

Class E airspace at Akron, OH. Class E

airspace designations for airspace areas

designated as a surface area for an

airport are published in paragraph 6002

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 E

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 will

not have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

Description of Class E Airspace;

Aberdeen, SD

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

the airspace are continuous. The legal

description must reflect the actual times

of operation. This proposal would

accurately reflect the times of operation

for the Class E airspace at Aberdeen, SD.
