SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 4, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to provide additional airspace to 
accommodate arrival/departure aircraft transitioning between the en 
route and terminal areas in southeastern Oregon (59 FR 15670). Airspace 
reclassification, in effect as of September 16, 1993, has discontinued 
the use of the term ``transition area,'' and certain airspace areas 
extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth 
are now Class E airspace areas. 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 for La Grande/Union 
County Airport. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on 
North American Datum 83. Class E airspace is 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 Federal Aviation Regulations amends 
Class E airspace at La Grande, Oregon. 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).
