Supplementary Information

History Airspace Docket No. 99-ANM-11, published in the Federal Register on February 14, 2000 (65 FR 7287), established a Class D surface airspace area at Jackson Hole Airport, Jackson, WY. This action was originally scheduled to become effective on April 20, 2000. A delay was encountered concerning the contractual requirements for the operation of the ATCT. The length of the delay was uncertain so a delay of effective date action was effected. Contractual requirements for the ATCT have been resolved, the new effective date for operations at Jackson Hole, WY is May 15, 2000. 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. Therefore, this 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 rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
