SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On Thursday, September 11, 1997, the

FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71

to modify the legal description of the

Class E airspace at Dickinson, ND (62

FR 47776). The proposal was to change

the legal description to accurately

reflect the existing continuous times of

operation for the airspace.

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. Class E airspace

designated as a surface area are

published in paragraph 6002 of FAA

Order 7400.9E, dated September 10,

1997, and effective September 16, 1997,

which is incorporated by reference in 14

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace

designation listed in this document will

be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71

modifies the legal description of the

Class E airspace at Dickinson, ND, by

removing the statement which indicates

less than continuous times of operation

for the airspace. The actual times of

operation for the Class E airspace at

Dickinson, ND, are continuous.

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. 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

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

[Airspace Docket No. 97–AGL–39]

Modification of the Legal Description

of Class E Airspace; Akron, OH

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies the legal

description of Class E airspace at Akron,

OH. The current legal description

indicates less than continuous times of

operation for the Class E airspace for

Akron Fulton International Airport.

Actual times of operation for the

airspace are continuous. The legal

description must reflect the actual times

of operation. This action will accurately

reflect the actual times of operation for

the Class E airspace at Akron, OH.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, February 26,

14 CFR Part 95

[Docket No. 29080; Amdt. No. 406]

IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous

Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final Rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts

miscellaneous amendments to the

required IFR (instrument flight rules)

altitudes and changeover points for

certain Federal airways, jet routes, or

direct routes for which a minimum or

maximum en route authorized IFR

altitude is prescribed. This regulatory

action is needed because of changes

occurring in the National Airspace

System. These changes are designed to

provide for the safe and efficient use of

the navigable airspace under instrument

conditions in the affected areas.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 1,

1998.

Service Federal Aviation

Administration, 800 Independence

Avenue, SW., Washington, D.C. 20591;

telephone: (202) 267–8277.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment to part 95 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95)

amends, suspends, or revokes IFR

altitudes governing the operation of all

aircraft in flight over a specified route

or any portion of that route, as well as

the changeover points (COPs) for

Federal airways, jet routes, or direct

routes as prescribed in part 95.

The Rule

The specified IFR altitudes, when

used in conjunction with the prescribed

changeover points for those routes,

ensure navigation aid coverage that is

adequate for safe flight operations and

free of frequency interference. The

reasons and circumstances that create

the need for this amendment involve

matters of flight safety and operational

efficiency in the National Airspace

System, are related to published

aeronautical charts that are essential to

the user, and provide for the safe and

efficient use of the navigable airspace.

In addition, those various reasons or

circumstances require making this

amendment effective before the next

scheduled charting and publication date

of the flight information to assure its

timely availability to the user. The

effective date of this amendment reflects

those considerations. In view of the

close and immediate relationship

between these regulatory changes and

safety in air commerce, I find that notice

and public procedure before adopting

this amendment are impracticable and

contrary to the public interest and that

good cause exists for making the

amendment effective in less than 30

days. 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.

For the same reasons, the FAA certifies

that this amendment will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.
