The Proposal

This action would amend Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class E airspace at Eagle County Regional Airport, Eagle, CO. Additional Class E airspace extending upward from the surface is necessary to accommodate aircraft using the new ILS or LOC DME SIAP at Eagle County Regional Airport. Additional Class E airspace extending upward from the surface is necessary to

[[Page 32276]]

accommodate aircraft using the ILS or LOC DME SIAPs at Eagles County Regional Airport. This Class E airspace is necessary for the safety of IFR aircraft executing the new SIAPs at Eagle County Regional Airport, Eagle, CO. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9M dated August 30, 2004, and effective September 16, 2004, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in this order.

The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this proposed regulations; (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 than will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
