14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 00–ASO–40]

Removal of Class E4 Airspace;

Meridian NAS—McCain Field, MS

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action removes the Class

E4 Airspace at Meridian NAS—McCain

Field, MS, as there are no longer

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures (SIAP) for Meridian NAS—

McCain Field requiring an extension to

the Class D surface area airspace.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 25,

2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Wade T. Carpenter, Jr., Manager

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

A review of the controlled airspace for

Meridian NAS—McCain Field revealed

the existence of an extension to the

Class D surface area airspace, although

there are no longer SIAPs requiring such

an extension. Therefore, the Class E4

airspace area must be removed. This

rule will become effective on the date

specified in the DATES section. Since

this action eliminates the impact of

controlled airspace on users of the

airspace in the vicinity of the Meridian

NAS—McCain Field, notice and public

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

unnecessary. Class E4 airspace

designations for airspace areas

designated as an extension to a Class D

airspace area are published in FAA

Order 7400.9H, dated September 1,

2000, and effective September 16, 2000,

which is incorporated by reference in 14

CFR 71.1. The Class E 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) removes Class E4 airspace at

Meridian NAS—McCain Field, MS.

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.
