SUMMARY: This action amends the Class E airspace at the Portland 
International Airport, Portland, OR. Establishment of a new instrument 
approach procedure requires additional controlled airspace for the 
procedure. The Class E airspace will be depicted on aeronautical charts 
for pilot reference when the new approach procedures become effective.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On February 23, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend the Class E 
airspace for the Portland International Airport, Portland, OR (59 FR 
8568). Except for a typographical omission of one line in the 
description, and reconsideration and deletion of another line in the 
description, this rule is the same. No additional airspace, except that 
required for the new procedure, is required to compensate for those 
omissions and deletions. Interested parties were invited to participate 
in the rulemaking process by submitting such written data, views, or 
arguments as they desired. No comments were received.
    Airspace reclassification, in effect as of September 16, 1993, has 
discontinued use of the terms ``control zone extension'' and 
``transition area,'' replacing them with the designation ``Class E 
airspace.'' Class E airspace designations for airspace areas extending 
upward from the surface of the earth, and Class E airspace designations 
for airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet above ground level, 
are published in Paragraphs 6003 and 6005 respectively, 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 airspace designations listed in 
this document will be published subsequently in the Order. The 
coordinates in this final rule are in North American Datum 83.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
amends Class E airspace at Portland, Oregon. It will provide controlled 
airspace for a new instrument approach procedure at the Portland 
International Airport. Amendment of the Class E airspace will result in 
greater safety and efficiency at, and in the vicinity of, the airport. 
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.
