[Airspace Docket No. 97–ASO–2]

Amendment to Class D Airspace;

Homestead, FL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment removes the

Class D reference to effective days and

times, and revokes the Class E2 airspace

at Homestead, FL. The control tower is

open continuously at the airport.

Therefore, the reference to effective days

and times, and the Class E2 airspace is

not necessary. This amendment also

reflects the current name of the airport.

The name of the airport has changed

from Homestead AFB to Dade CountyHomestead Regional Airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, March 27,

1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Benny L. McGlamery, Operations

Branch, Air Traffic Division, Federal

Aviation Administration, P.O. Box

telephone (404) 305–5570.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

The control tower at Homestead, FL,

is open continuously. Therefore, the

reference to days and times in the Class

D airspace description can be deleted.

As a result, the Class D airspace

becomes continuous and the Class E2

airspace can be removed. The former

Homestead AFB has been redesignated

Dade County-Homestead Regional

Airport. 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 and eliminates the

requirement for Class E2 airspace,

which has no impact on users of the

airspace in the vicinity of the 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) modifies the Class D airspace

description at Homestead, FL, to reflect

that the airspace is continuous, removes

the Class E2 airspace and corrects the

name of the airport from Homestead

AFB to Dade County-Homestead

Regional Airport.

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.

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

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
