The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revoke the Class E airspace at 
Bozrah, CT. This action is prompted by the cancellation of the Special 
Instrument Approach Procedures for Runway 2 and Runway 20 at Gager 
Field. Class E airspace areas extending from 700 feet above the surface 
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 at Gager Field would be removed subsequently from the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this Proposed regulation involves only 
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep these regulations 
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 economic cost will be so 
minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air 
traffic procedures and air navigation, the FAA certifies 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.
