SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On July 8, 2004, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending Class E5 airspace at
Somerset, KY, (69 FR 41215). This action provides adequate Class E5
airspace for IFR operations at Somerset--Pulaski County--J.T. Wilson
Field Airport, Somerset, KY. Designations for Class E are published in
FAA Order 7400.9L, dated September 2, 2003, and effective September 16,
2003, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class
E designations listed in this document will be published subsequently
in the Order.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments objecting to the proposal were received.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) amends Class E5 airspace at Somerset, KY.
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.
