SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On May 5, 2000, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class E airspace
at Livingston, TN (65 FR 26157). This action provides adequate Class E
airspace for IFR operations at Livingston Community Hospital.
Designations for Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet or
more above the surface are published in FAA Order 7400.9G, dated
September 1, 1999, and effective September 16, 1999, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class E 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) amends Class E airspace at Livingston, TN.
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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
Airspace, Incorporation by Reference, Navigation (air).
