    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    History
    
        On October 7, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend Part 71 of the 
    Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) by establishing a Class E 
    airspace at Montauk Airport, Montauk, NY (61 FR 52399). The development 
    of a VOR/GPS RWY 6 SIAP at Montauk Airport has made this action 
    necessary.
        Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
    proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
    No comments objecting to the proposal were received. Class E airspace 
    areas designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 
    7400.9D, dated September 4, 1996, and effective September 16, 1996, 
    which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 
    designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
    the Order.
    
    The Rule
    
        This amendment to Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
    CFR Part 71) establishes a Class E airspace area at Montauk, NY. The 
    development of a VOR/GPS RWY 6 SIAP at Montauk Airport has made this 
    action necessary. The intended effect of this action is to provide 
    adequate Class E airspace for aircraft executing the VOR/GPS RWY 6 SIAP 
    at the airport.
        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 ``significantly regulatory 
    action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' 
    under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 10034; 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.
