The Proposal

The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 17) to establish additional Class E

airspace at New York, NY. The intended effect of this proposal is to

provide additional controlled airspace down to 700' above ground level

for IFR operations at Teterboro Airport, NJ. The coordinates for this

airspace docket are based on North American Datum 83. Class E airspace

designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9B,

Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated July 18, 1994, and

effective September 16, 1994, which is incorporated by reference in 14

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document

would be published subsequently in the Order.

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 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, when promulgated, this proposed rule will not have

significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities

under criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
