SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On January 21, 2005, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class E4
airspace Cocoa Beach Patrick AFB, FL, (70 FR 3155). This action
provides adequate Class E4 airspace for IFR operations at Cocoa Beach
Patrick AFB. Class E airspace designations for airspace areas
designated as an extension to a Class D airspace area are published in
Paragraph 6004 of FAA Order 7400.9M, dated August 30, 2004, and
effective September 16, 2004, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation 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) establishes Class E4 airspace and at Cocoa Beach Patrick
AFB, FL.
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.
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 will not have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
