SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Inyokern, CA. A 
Global Positioning System (GPS) standard instrument approach procedure 
(SIAP) has been developed for the Inyokern Municipal Airport. 
Controlled airspace extending from 700 feet above the surface is needed 
for aircraft executing the approach. This action will provide adequate 
Class E airspace for instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On June 24, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace at 
Inyokern, CA. (59 FR 32669). A Global Positioning System (GPS) standard 
instrument approach procedure (SIAP) has been developed for the 
Inyokern Municipal Airport. Controlled airspace extending from 700 feet 
above the surface is needed for aircraft executing the approach.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
One comment was received. China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station 
requested the exclusion of Class E airspace from Restricted Area R-
2505. The Restricted Area was excluded in response to their request.
    The coordinates in the proposal are based on North American Datum 
83. Class E airspace designations 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 this Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
establishes Class E airspace at Inyokern, CA, to establish controlled 
airspace from 700 feet above the surface for aircraft executing the GPS 
SIAP into the Inyokern Municipal Airport at Inyokern, CA.
    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.
