SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 4, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish the Sandpoint, 
Idaho, Class E airspace area (59 FR 15669). This action is necessary to 
accommodate arrival/departure aircraft transitioning between the 
enroute and terminal areas in western Idaho. The area will be depicted 
on aeronautical charts for pilot reference. Interested parties were 
invited to participate in the rulemaking proceeding by submitting 
written comments on the proposal. No comments were received. This 
action is the same as the proposal except for a typographical error 
discovered (and corrected herein) in the coordinates of the airspace 
description for Fairchild AFB, Washington. The coordinates for this 
airspace docket are based on North American Datum 83. Class E airspace 
is published in Paragraph 6006 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 Federal Aviation Regulations 
establishes Class E airspace at Sandpoint, Idaho. 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
