FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James Riley, ANM-537, Federal Aviation
Administration, Docket No. 94-ANM-5, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton,
Washington, 98055-4056; telephone number: (206) 227-2537.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On April 4, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish the Cascade Range,
Washington, Class E airspace area (59 FR 15671). This action is
necessary to accommodate arrival/departure aircraft transitioning
between the en route and terminal area east of Seattle, Washington. The
area will be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference.
Interested parties were invited to participate in the rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments
were received. This action is the same as the proposal except for a
typographical error discovered and offered herein in the coordinates of
the airspace description. The coordinates for this airspace docket are
based on North American Datum 83. Class E airspace is published in
Paragraph 6006 of FAA Order 7400.9A dated June 17, 1993, and effective
September 16, 1993, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1
(58 FR 36298; July 6, 1993). 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
established Class E airspace at Cascade Range, 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
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
