The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class E airspace at
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and Spokane, Washington, to accommodate a new
instrument approach procedure and missed approach holding pattern at
Coeur d'Alene Air Terminal. The areas would be depicted on aeronautical
charts for pilot reference. The coordinates for this airspace docket
are based on North American Datum 83. Class E airspace designations for
airspace areas are published in Paragraphs 6004 and 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9A dated June 17, 1993, and effective September 16, 1993, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 as of September 16, 1993, (58
FR 36298; July 6, 1993). The Class E designations listed in this
document would be published subsequently in the Order.
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.
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 so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
