SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    The FAA received a request from the National Aeronautical 
Navigation Services to correct the geographic coordinates for Opa Locka 
Airport in the Class D airspace for Miami and Hollywood, FL. This 
action makes the adjustment.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 amends Class D airspace at Miami, and Hollywood, FL. The 
geographic coordinates of the Opa Locka Airport will be corrected to 
coincide with the FAAs National Aeronautical Navigation Services. 
Accordingly, since this is an administrative change, and does not 
involve a change in the dimensions or operating requirements of that 
airspace, notice and public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are 
unnecessary.
    The Class D airspace designations are published in Paragraph 5000 
of FAA order 7400.9U, signed August 18, 2010, and effective September 
15, 2010, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class 
D airspace designations listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that his regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them, operationally current, 
is non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative 
comments. 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 FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is 
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, section 106 
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's 
authority.
    This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in 
subtitle VII, part A, subpart I, section 40103. Under that section, the 
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of 
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient 
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority 
as it amends controlled airspace at Miami and Hollywood, FL.
