SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Wednesday, January 14, 2004, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR
part 71 to modify Class E airspace at Mount Comfort, IN, revoke Class E
airspace at Indianapolis-Brookside, IN, and modify the legal
description at Indianapolis-Terry, IN, (69 FR 2088). The proposal was
to modify the existing Class E airspace area at Mount Comfort, IN,
revoke the existing Class E airspace area at Indianapolis-Brookside,
IN, and modify the legal description at Indianapolis-Terry, IN. The
Indianapolis Brookside Airpark has been abandoned, and the existing
area of Class E airspace
[[Page 21405]]
is no longer needed. Additionally, the name of the Indianapolis Terry
Airport has changed.
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. Class E airspace
areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the
earth are published in paragraph 6005, of FAA Order 7400.9L dated
September 2, 2003, and effective September 16, 2003, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the order.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies Class E airspace at Mount
Comfort, IN, revokes Class E airspace at Indianapolis-Brookside, IN,
and modifies the legal description at Indianapolis-Terry, IN. The area
will be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts.
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, 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 rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
