The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class D and E 
airspace at Elko Municipal Airport-J.C. Harris Field. An airport 
traffic control tower is being established at the airport. The 
coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American Datum 
83. Class D and E airspace is published in paragraphs 5000, 6002 and 
6004 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 (58 FR 36298; July 6, 1993). The Class D and E airspace 
designations listed in the document would be published subsequently in 
the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
