SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On June 12, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace at
Grants Pass, Oregon, to accommodate a new GPS SIAP to the Grants Pass
Airport (61 FR 29699). 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
establishes Class E airspace at Grants Pass, Oregon. 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.
