The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class E airspace at 
Medford, Oregon to accommodate an amended instrument approach procedure 
and missed approach holding pattern at Medford-Jackson County Airport. 
The area would be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference. 
The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American 
Datum 83. Class E airspace designations for airspace areas are 
published in paragraphs 6004 and 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9A dated June 
17, 1993, and effective September 16, 1993, which is incorporated by 
reference in 14 CFR 71.1 as of September 16, 1993 (58 FR 36298; July 6, 
1993). The Class E designations listed in this document would be 
published subsequently in the 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. 
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, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
