The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 that

would modify the Phoenix-Goodyear

Municipal Airport Class D Surface Area

at Phoenix, AZ. A review of airspace

classification and air traffic procedures

has made this action necessary. This

action proposes to lower the ceiling of

the Class D Surface Area so that it

would extend from the surface up to,

but not including 3,000 feet MSL. This

action would enhance safety of air

traffic operations by allowing the

airspace to be charted in a manner more

consistent the nature of the operations

conducted at Phoenix-Goodyear

Municipal Airport. Class D airspace

areas are published in Paragraph 5000 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

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 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

proposed rule would not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.
