NOTICE: RULES

ACTION: Airworthiness standards:

DOCUMENT ACTION: Final rule.

SUBJECT CATEGORY: Amendment of Class E5 Airspace; Meridian, MS

EFFECTIVE DATES: 0901 UTC, March 22, 2001.

DOCUMENT SUMMARY: This action makes a technical amendment to the Class E5 airspace at Meridian, MS. The Navy Meridian NDB has been
decommissioned. Therefore, the airspace legal description must be amended to reflect this change.

SUMMARY: Class E5 airspace,

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

The Navy Meridian NDB has been decommissioned. As a result the airspace legal description must be amended. This rule will become effective on the date specified in the EFFECTIVE DATE section. Since this action has no impact on users of the airspace in the vicinity of Meridian NASMcCain Field, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. Class E airspace designations for airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9H, dated September 1, 2000, and effective September 16, 2000, 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 Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) amends Class E5 airspace at Meridian, MS.

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.
