ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This action proposes to revise

the Class D and E airspace areas at

reducing the radius of the basic surface

area and by removing those portions of

airspace defined as a northeast

extension to the basic surface area. The

existing surface area radius exceeds

criteria specified in FAA Order 7400.2,

Procedures for Handling Airspace

Matters. Additionally, the northeast

extension to the basic surface area is no

longer required for instrument approach

and departure procedures at Sacramento

Executive Airport.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 that

would modify the Sacramento Executive

Airport Class D and E Surface Areas at

Sacramento, CA. A review of airspace

classification and air traffic procedures

has made this action necessary. This

notice proposes to remove those

portions of airspace defined as a

northeast extension to the Class D and

E Surface Areas at Sacramento

Executive Airport, and to reduce the

radius of the basic surface area from 4.3-

miles to 4.0-miles. The northeast

extension and 4.3-mile radius no longer

required for any instrument approach or

departure procedures at Sacramento

Executive Airport. Class D and E2

airspace areas are published in

Paragraphs 5000 and 6002, respectively,

of FAA Order 7400.9H, Airspace

Designations and Reporting Points,

dated September 1, 2000, and effective

September 16, 2000, through September

15, 2001, which is incorporated by

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D

and E airspace designations listed in

this document would be published

subsequently in this Order.

The FAA has determined that this

proposed regulation only involves an

established body of technical

regulations for which frequent and

routine amendments are necessary to

keep them operationally current.

Therefore, this proposed 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

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 229 / Tuesday, November 28, 2000 / Proposed Rules 70825

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this proposed rule

would not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

take further action on this proposed

rule. If EPA receives relevant adverse

comment, EPA will withdraw the direct

final rule and it will not take effect. The

EPA will address all public comments

in a subsequent final rule based on this

proposed rule. The EPA will not
