holding pattern at Coeur d'Alene Air Terminal, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. 
The areas would be depicted on aeronautical charts to provide reference 
for pilots.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before February 18, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the proposal in triplicate to: Manager, 
System Management Branch, ANM-530, Federal Aviation Administration,

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 
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and Spokane, Washington, to accommodate a new 
instrument approach procedure and missed approach holding pattern at 
Coeur d'Alene Air Terminal. The areas 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.
