SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Friday, December 10, 2004, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part
71 to establish Class E airspace at Tracy, MN. The proposal was to
establish controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more
above the surface of the earth to contain Instrument Flight Rules
operations in controlled airspace during portions of the terminal
operation and while transiting between the enroute and terminal
environments.
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
designations for airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more
above the surface of the earth are published in paragraph 6005 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.
The Rule
The amendment to 14 CFR part 71 establishes Class E airspace at
Tracy, MN, to accommodate aircraft executing instrument flight
procedures into and out of Tracy Municipal Airport. 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 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.
