FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
James C. Frala, Operations Branch, ANM-532.4, Federal Aviation
Administration, Docket No. 96-ANM-001, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton,
Washington 98055-4056; telephone number: (206) 227-2535.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On April 22, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class E airspace at
Baker, Montana, to accommodate a revised GPS SIAP to the Baker
Municipal Airport (61 FR 17607). 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 7400.9C dated August 17, 1995, and effective
September 16, 1995, 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 Baker, Montana. 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.
