18066 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 71 / Monday, April 14, 1997 / Proposed Rules

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to Part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) to

amend the Class D airspace areas at

Miami Opa Locka Airport, FL and

Hollywood, FL. As a result of a recent

airspace review of the Class D airspace

areas at both locations, it was

determined that additional controlled

airspace extending upward from the

surface is needed to accommodate IFR

operations at the Opa Locka and North

Perry Airports. Class D airspace

designations are published in Paragraph

5000 of FAA Order 7400.9D dated

September 4, 1996, and effective

September 16, 1996, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class D airspace designations

listed in this document would be

published subsequently in the 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. 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,

when promulgated, will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

revise Class D and Class E airspace areas

at Los Angeles Hawthorne Municipal

Airport, CA. During airspace

reclassification, the Hawthorne Airport

Traffic Area (ATA) and the Los Angeles

ATA were combined to form the

Hawthorne Class D airspace. A review

of airspace classification and air traffic

procedures has made this action

necessary. The intended effect of this

proposal is to reduce the complexity of

the air traffic procedures and reduce the

number of facilities controlling traffic

within this area. Class D airspace areas

extending upward from the surface are

published in Paragraph 5000 and Class

E airspace designations for airspace

areas designated as an extension to a

Class D or Class E surface area are

published in Paragraph 6004 of FAA

Order 7400.9D dated September 4, 1996,

and effective September 16, 1996, which

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace

designation 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 10034; 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 proposed rule

would not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.
