Amendment to Class D Airspace;

Miami Opa Locka Airport, FL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment modifies the

Class D airspace description at Miami

Opa Locka Airport, FL. As a result of an

amendment to Class D airspace at

Hollywood, FL, effective March 27,

1997, a technical amendment to the

Miami Opa Locka Airport, FL, Class D

airspace is necessary to reflect the

modification to the Class D airspace at

Hollywood, FL.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, March 27,

1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

The Class D airspace at Hollywood,

FL, is amended effective March 27,

1997, to accommodate a GPS RWY 9R

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedure (SIAP) at North Perry Airport.

The radius of the Class D airspace at

Hollywood, FL, is a reference point in

the Class D airspace description for

Miami Opa Locka Airport, FL.

Therefore, a technical amendment to the

Class D airspace description for the

Miami Opa Locka Airport, FL, is

necessary. This action will have no

impact on the users of the airspace in

the vicinity of the airport. This rule will

become effective on the date specified

in the DATES section. Since this action

only makes a technical amendment to

the Class D airspace, which has no

impact on users of the airspace in the

vicinity of the Miami Opa Locka

Airport, notice and public procedure

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.

The Rule

This amendment to Part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) modified the Class D airspace

description at Miami Opa Locka

Airport, FL, to reflect the amendment to

the Class D airspace at Hollywood, FL.

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.

Adoption of the Amendment

In consideration of the foregoing, the

Federal Aviation Administration

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On November 27, 1996, the FAA

proposed to amend Part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

Part 71) by modifying Class E airspace

at Tampa, FL (61 FR 60239). This action

would provide adequate Class E

airspace for IFR operations at Clearwater

Air Park, Clearwater, FL.

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. Designations for Class E

airspace extending upward from 700

feet or more above the surface are

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9D dated September 4, 1996,

and effective September 16, 1996. The

Class E airspace designation listed in

this document will be published
