The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify the Class D airspace 
area at Redding, CA. This proposed action is necessary due to the 
recent closures of Enterprise Skypark and Redding Sky Ranch Airport. 
Those portions within a 1-mile radius of Redding Sky Ranch Airport and 
Enterprise Skypark, which are currently depicted in the Class D 
airspace description, will be deleted from the amended Class D airspace 
area at Redding, CA. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based 
on North American Datum 83. Class D airspace areas designations are 
published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9B dated July 18, 1994, 
and effective September 16, 1994, which is incorporated by reference in 
14 CFR 71.1 (58 FR 36298; July 6, 1993). The Class D 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 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 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.
