SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On February 28, 2001, a document

proposing to amend Part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) by establishing Class E airspace

extending upward from the surface to

and including 3200 feet MSL within a

4.1 mile radius of Washington County

Regional Airport was published in the

Federal Register (66 FR 12741–12742).

This Class E2 airspace area is effective

during the specific dates and times

when the Class D airspace is not in

effect.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA

on or before March 30, 2001. No

comments to the proposal were

received. The rule is adopted as

proposed.

The coordinates for this airspace

docket are based on North American

Datum 83.

Class E airspace areas designations for

airspace extending upward from the

surface of the earth are published in

paragraph 6002 of 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 airspace designation

based in this document will be amended

in the order.

The Rule

This amendment to Part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) provides controlled Class E

airspace extending upward from the

surface for aircraft conducting IFR

operations at the Washington County

Regional Airport, Hagerstown, MD at

times when the ATCT is closed.

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. Therefore, this 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

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this rule will not have

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.
