SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On March 14, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class D airspace at

Oxnard, CA, Camarillo, CA and NAWS Point Mugu, CA (59 FR 14804). The

Class D airspace is being modified to simplify procedures for pilots

and controllers. Interested parties were invited to participate in this

rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to

the FAA. No comments were received regarding the proposal. Class D

airspace designations are published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order

7400.9B dated July 18, 1994, and effective September 16, 1994, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace

designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in

this Order.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulation

modifies Class D airspace at Oxnard, California, Camarillo, California,

and NAWS Point Mugu, California. 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 ``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).
