SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

During a routine airspace review, an error was discovered in the legal description of the Hayward Air Terminal Class D airspace area. In this description, a reference is made to the Metropolitan Oakland International Airport, CA, Class A airspace area. This error is typographical in nature. The reference should indicate the Metropolitan Oakland International Airport, CA, Class C airspace area.

Class D airspace areas are published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9G, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated September 1, 1999, and effective September 16, 1999, through September 15, 2000, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations revises the legal description of the Hayward Air Terminal Class D airspace area, CA, by correcting the reference to the Metropolitan Oakland International Airport, CA, Class A airspace area to the Metropolitan Oakland International Airport, CA, Class C airspace area. This action is an administrative amendment to the legal description and will not change the actual dimensions, configuration, or operating requirements of the Hayward Class D airspace area.

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. Therefore, this proposed regulation—(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 proposed rule would 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)
