SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On December 2, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by modifying Class E 
airspace at Deland, FL (61 FR 63765). This action would provide 
adequate Class E airspace for IFR operations at Deland Muni-Sidney H. 
Taylor Airport.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
One letter objecting to the proposal was received. The commentor stated 
that operations at the Lafayette Landings Airport would be adversely 
affected by amending the Deland Class E airspace. The Lafayette 
Landings Airport lies under the current Deland Class E airspace, which 
is being extended from a 7-mile to a 7.6-mile radius of the Deland 
Muni-Sidney H. Taylor. Therefore, aircraft departing Lafayette Landings 
Airport that desire to operate clear of this Class E airspace will have 
to fly .6 of a mile further than they currently do to avoid this 
airspace. The FAA considers this insignificant in view of the safety 
required to accommodate aircraft executing SIAPs to Deland Muni-Sidney 
H. Taylor Airport. 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) modifies Class E airspace at Deland, FL. An amendment to 
the NDB or GPS RWY 30 SIAP has been developed for Deland Muni-Sidney H. 
Taylor Airport. Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 
700 feet above the surface (AGL) is needed to accommodate this SIAP.
    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.
