ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes the Craig, Colorado, Class E airspace
to accommodate a new Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to the Craig-Moffat Airport.
Additionally, this action corrects the airport name from Hayden, Craig-
Moffat Airport, Colorado, to Craig-Moffat Airport, Colorado, as

E5 airspace previously listed under the text header of Hayden, Colorado
(Hayden, Craig-Moffat Airport).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On February 12, 1997, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E
airspace at Craig, Colorado, to accommodate a new GPS SIAP to the
Craig-Moffat Airport (62 FR 6506). This action also corrects the
airport name, and eliminates confusion, with the removal of the Class
E5 airspace previously listed under the text header of Hayden, Colorado
(Hayden, Craig-Moffat Airport). This action will ensure correct
references to airports are made, as described in the Airport/Facility
Directory, and will accurately distinguish between the classes of
airspace associated with Craig, Colorado, and Hayden, Colorado.
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
establishes Class E airspace at Craig, Colorado. 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.
