Also, this action amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Bangor International Airport, omitting the Bangor VORTAC, as well as removing the extension to the north, reducing the radius to 8.4 miles previously 10
miles, and amending the extension to the southeast to a 134 bearing from the airport, extending from the 8.4-mile radius to 15.5-miles southeast of the airport previously 136 bearing extending from the 10-mile radius to 16.7 miles southeast of the airport.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 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 minimal. Since this is a routine matter that only affects air traffic procedures an air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
