SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
The Twinkletown Airport, within the Memphis, TN, Class E5 airspace
area, has closed. Therefore, the Memphis, TN, Class E5 legal
description must be amended to reflect the closure. This amendment will
become effective on the date specified in the DATE section. Since this
action has no impact on the users of the airspace in the vicinity of
the Memphis, TN, Class E5 airspace area, notice and public procedure
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. Designations for Class E are
published in FAA Order 7400.9K, dated August 30, 2002, and effective
September 16, 2002, 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.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) amends Class E5 airspace at Memphis, TN.
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
[[Page 70154]]
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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
Airspace, incorporated by reference, Navigation (Air).
