FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
James D. Lambert, Operations Branch, ANM-532.3, Federal Aviation
Administration, Docket No. 96-ANM-25, 1601 Lind Avenue S.W., Renton,
Washington 98055-4056; telephone number: (206) 227-2538.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On September 20, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class E airspace
at Pullman, Washington, to accommodate a new SIAP to the Pullman/Moscow
Regional Airport (61 FR 49425).
Interested parties were invited to participate in the rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments
were received.
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 7400.9D dated September 4, 1996, and effective September
16, 1996. 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 amends
Class E airspace at Pullman, Washington. 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.
