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 Cascade Range, 
Washington, Class E airspace area (59 FR 15671). This action is 
necessary to accommodate arrival/departure aircraft transitioning 
between the en route and terminal area east of Seattle, Washington. 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 offered herein in the coordinates of 
the airspace description. 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 
established Class E airspace at Cascade Range, Washington. 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.
