SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (86 FR 
10812, February 23, 2021) for Doc. No. FAA-2020-0889, amending Class D 
airspace Class E airspace at Smyrna Airport, Smyrna, TN.
    Subsequent to publication, the FAA found the southeastern extension 
of the Class D airspace was listed as the 142[deg] bearing from the 
airport. The bearing should be the 139[deg] bearing from the airport. 
This action corrects this error.
    Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in 
Paragraph 5000, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11E, dated 
July 21, 2020, and effective September 15, 2020, which is incorporated 
by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed 
in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

Correction to Final Rule

    This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by correcting the descriptor of 
Class D airspace for Smyrna Airport, Smyrna, TN as follows.
    The first sentence of the legal description for the Class D 
airspace at Smyrna Airport is amended to read ``That airspace extending 
upward from the surface to but not including 2,500 feet MSL within a 
3.9-mile radius of the Smyrna Airport, and within 1.2 miles each side 
of the 139[deg] bearing from the airport, extending from the 3.9-mile 
radius to 5.5-miles southeast of the airport, and within 1.2-miles each 
side of the 184[deg] bearing from the airport, extending from the 3.9-
mile radius to 5.5-miles south 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. 
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 only affects air traffic procedures and 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.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical 
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance 
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and 
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected 
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no 
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an 
environmental assessment.
