6464 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 29 / Wednesday, February 12, 1997 / Rules and Regulations

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On December 2, 1996, the FAA

proposed to amend Part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

Part 71) by establishing Class E airspace

at Hazard, KY, (61 FR 63768). This

action will provide adequate Class E

airspace for IFR operations at Wendell

H. Ford Airport.

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

subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to Part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) establishes Class E airspace at

Hazard, KY, to accommodate a VOR/

DME RWY 14 and a GPS RWY 14 SIAPs

and for IFR operations at Wendell H.

Ford Airport. The operating status of the

airport will be changed from VFR to

include IFR operations concurrent with

publication of these SIAPs.

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
