SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On December 5, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace
area at Pangborn Memorial Airport, Wenatchee, Washington (59 FR 62365).
Interested parties were invited to participate in the rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments
were received. However, in the proposal one line was inadvertently
omitted in the airspace description. The line has been inserted and
comments are again solicited. After review of any comments and, if the
FAA finds that further changes are appropriate, it will initiate
rulemaking proceedings to extend the effective date or to amend the
regulation.
Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the views and
suggestions presented are particularly helpful in evaluating the
effects of the rule, and in determining whether additional rulemaking
is required. Comments are specifically invited on the overall
regulatory, aeronautical, economic, environmental, and energy-related
aspects of the rule which might suggest the need to modify the rule.
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 7400.9B dated July 18, 1994, and effective September
16, 1994, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. This
action is necessary to accommodate a new instrument approach procedure
at Pangborn Memorial Airport. The area will be depicted on aeronautical
charts for pilot reference, The Class E airspace designation 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 Wenatchee, 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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
