ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Beebe Memorial Hospital Heliport, Lewes, DE. Development of an Area Navigation (RNAV), Helicopter Point in Space Approach, for the Beebe Memorial Hospital Heliport, has made this action necessary. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level

(AGL)is needed to contain aircraft executing the approach to the Beebe Memorial Hospital Heliport. EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC March 22, 2002. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Francis Jordan, Airspace Specialist, Airspace Branch, AEA-520, Air Traffic Division, Eastern Region, Federal Aviation Administration, 1 Aviation Plaza, Jamaica, New York 11434-4809, telephone:

(718)553-4521. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On September 28, 2001 a notice proposing to amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level

(AGL)for an RNAV, Helicopter Point in Space approach to the Beebe Memorial Hospital Heliport, DE, was published in the **Federal Register** (66 FR 49574-49575). Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA on or before October 29, 2001. No comments to the proposal were received. The rule is adopted as proposed. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American Datum 83. Class E airspace areas designations for airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9J, dated August 31, 2001 and effective September 16, 2001, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will be published in the Order. The Rule This amendment to Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) provides controlled Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for aircraft conducting Instrument Flight Rules

(IFR)operations at the Beebe Memorial Hospital Heliport, Lewes, DE. 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 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). Adoption of the Amendment In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation Administration amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows: PART 71—[AMENDED] 1.
