SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class E airspace at Stillwater, OK. A 
Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment 
(VOR/DME) Runway (RWY) 35 standard instrument approach procedure (SIAP) 
has been developed at Stillwater Municipal Airport. Controlled airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above ground level designated in 
conjunction with an airport for which an approved instrument approach 
procedure has been prescribed, is needed for aircraft executing the new 
VOR/DME RWY 35 SIAP. This action is intended to provide adequate Class 
E airspace for IFR operations at Stillwater, OK.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On November 30, 1993, a proposal to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify the Class E airspace at 
Stillwater, OK, was published in the Federal Register (58 FR 63125). A 
new standard instrument approach procedure (SIAP) has been developed 
for the Stillwater Municipal Airport. This modification is required to 
provide adequate Class E airspace for instrument flight rule (IFR) 
operators executing the new SIAP.
    Interested persons were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments objecting to the proposal were received.
    The proposal published on November 30, 1993 (58 FR 63125), 
incorrectly listed the latitude of the Stillwater Municipal Airport as 
3 deg.09'37'' N. instead of 36 deg.09'37'' N. This was corrected in the 
Federal Register January 14, 1994 (59 FR 2454). Except for this change, 
this amendment is the same as that proposed in the notice. The 
coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American Datum 
83. Class E airspace designations for airspace areas extending upward 
from 700 feet or more above ground level are 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, 1994). The Class E airspace designation listed in this 
document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
modifies the Class E airspace located at Stillwater, OK, to provide 
controlled airspace from 700 feet or more above ground level for 
aircraft executing the VOR/DME RWY 35 SIAP.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations that need frequent and 
routine amendments 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 than 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.
