The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class E airspace at 
North Bend, Oregon, to provide controlled airspace for a new SIAP at 
the North Bend Municipal Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward 
from the surface is needed for aircraft executing the approach. The 
area would be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference.
    The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. Class E airspace designations for airspace areas 
extending upward from the surface of the earth and from 700 feet or 
more above the surface of the earth are published in Paragraphs 6002 
and 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 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. 
Therefore, this regulation--(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.
