SUMMARY: This action amends the West Yellowstone, Montana, Class E 
airspace. This action corrects an error in the airspace description 
inadvertently omitted during the airspace reclassification process. 
This action amends the West Yellowstone, Montana Class E airspace from 
full-time back to part-time. Airspace reclassification, in effect as of 
September 16, 1993, has discontinued the use of the term ``transition 
area,'' replacing it with the designation ``Class E airspace.''

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On December 3, 1993, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending the West 
Yellowstone, Montana, Class E airspace (58 FR 63905). Interested 
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by 
submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments 
objecting to the proposal were received.
    Airspace reclassification, in effect as of September 16, 1993, has 
discontinued the use of the term ``transition area,'' and airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth 
is now Class E airspace. Class E airspace designations for airspace 
areas extending 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth are 
published in Paragraph 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 (58 FR 36298; July 6, 1993). The Class E airspace 
designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
amends the Class E airspace at West Yellowstone, Montana, to correct an 
error in the airspace description inadvertently omitted during the 
airspace reclassification process. This action amends the West 
Yellowstone Class E airspace from full-time back to part-time.
    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.
