SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On May 27, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend the Lewiston, Idaho, 
Class E airspace area (59 FR 27514). This action is necessary to 
accommodate arrival/departure aircraft transitioning between the en 
route and terminal area in southwestern 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. The 
coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American Datum 
83. Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above 
the surface of the earth are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 
7400.9B dated July 18, 1994, and effective September 16, 1994, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. 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 Lewiston, 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).
