    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 
    Lamar, Colorado, to provide controlled airspace for a new instrument 
    approach procedure at the Lamar Municipal Airport. Controlled airspace 
    extending upward from 700 feet AGL is needed for aircraft executing the 
    approach. The area 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 
    extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth 
    are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9B dated July 18, 
    1994, and effective September 16, 1994, which is incorporated by 
    reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation 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.
