SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On December 3, 1993, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending the Ogden,

Hill AFB, UT, Class D airspace (58 FR 63904). 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.

Airspace reclassification, in effect as of September 16, 1993, has

discontinued the use of the term ``control zone,'' replacing it with

the designation ``Class D airspace.'' Class D airspace areas are

published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9A dated June 17, 1993,

and effective September 16, 1993, which is incorporated by reference in

14 CFR 71.1 (58 FR 36298; July 6, 1993). The Class D airspace

designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in

the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations

amends the Class D airspace at Ogden, Hill AFB, UT, to correct an error

in the airspace description inadvertently committed during the airspace

reclassification process. This action reduces the size of the Ogden,

Hill AFB, UT, Class D airspace.

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
