Supplementary Information
History
On August 23, 1994, a proposal to amend 14 CFR part 71 to revise Class E airspace at Oakdale, LA, was published in the Federal Register (59 FR 43307). The proposal was to revise controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet AGL at Allen Parish Airport, Oakdale, LA. The relocation of Restricted Area, R-3806 has made this rule necessary. The intended effect of the proposal was to provide adequate Class E airspace to contain aircraft executing the NDB SIAP at Allen Parish Airport, Oakdale, LA. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments to the proposal were received. The rule is adopted as proposed with the exception of minor editorial changes. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American Datum 83. Designated Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9F, dated September 10, 1998, and effective September 16, 1998, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in the order.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR Part 71 revises Class E airspace, at Oakdale, LA, extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 6.5-mile radius of the Allen Parish Airport, Oakdale, LA. The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations that require frequent and routine amendments 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.
