SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On July 6, 1994, a proposal to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace at 
Springdale, AR, was published in the Federal Register (59 FR 34585). 
That action proposed to establish Class E airspace at Springdale, AR, 
during the hours that the control tower is closed to contain IFR 
operations at the airport.
    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. Coordinates 
reported for Springdale, AR, were incorrectly identified in the notice, 
and are corrected in this amendment. Except for editorial changes, 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 areas designated as surface areas 
for airports are published in paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9B, 
dated June 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 the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) establishes Class E airspace at Springdale, AR, to provide 
controlled airspace for IFR operations during the hours that the 
control tower is closed.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations that need frequent and 
routine amendments to keep them orperationally 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.
