The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Monticello, MO. A 
SIAP based on the Quincy VORTAC has been established. The intended 
effect of this proposal is to provide adequate Class E airspace for IFR 
operators executing the VOR/DME SIAP at Lewis County Regional Airport. 
The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American 
Datum 83. Class E airspace areas extend 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 (58 FR 36298; July 6, 
1993). The Class E airspace designation listed in this 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.
