The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class E airspace at 
Daytona Beach, FL. The VOR RWY 8 SIAP at the Ormond Beach Municipal 
Airport has been amended to a VOR or GPS RWY 17 SIAP. As a result, the 
airspace for the Ormond Beach Municipal Airport must be amended from a 
6.4- to a 7.3-mile radius to accommodate the SIAP and for Instrument 
Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport. Additionally, the 
airspace extension for the previous VOR RWY 8 SIAP will be removed. 
Class E airspace designations for airspace areas extending upward from 
700 feet or more above the surface are published in Paragraph 6005 of 
FAA Order 7400.9E dated September 10, 1997, and effective September 16, 
1997, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 
airspace designation 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.
