DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 95-ANM-23]
Establishment of Class E Airspace; Sandpoint, ID
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes the Sandpoint, Idaho, Class E
airspace. This action is necessary to accommodate a Global Positioning
System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Dave Wall
Field, Sandpoint, Idaho. A minor correction is being made in the
geographic position coordinates of Dave Wall Field and Spokane
Fairchild AFB, Washington. An inadvertent error in the Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking is also corrected to reflect the intent to create a
new Class E airspace, not revise an existing Class E airspace.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, April 25, 1996.

James C. Frala, System Management Branch, ANM-535/A, Federal Aviation
Administration, Docket No. 95-ANM-23, 1601 Lind Avenue S.W., Renton,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On October 24, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E
airspace at Sandpoint, Idaho, to accommodate a new GPS SIAP to Dave
Wall Field (60 FR 54458). Interested parties were invited to
participate in the rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments
on the proposal. No comments were received.
The geographic coordinates for Spokane Fairchild AFB, Washington
and Dave Wall Field, Sandpoint, Idaho, as provided by the National
Ocean
[[Page 2713]]
Service, and the National Flight Data Digest Number 237 dated December
11, 1995, respectively, are corrected herein. The coordinates for this
airspace docket are based on North American Datum 83. Class E airspace
areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the
earth are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9C dated August
17, 1995, and effective September 16, 1995, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace listed in this document
will be published subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of Federal Aviation Regulations
establishes Class E airspace at Sandpoint, Idaho. 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 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.
