SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On December 5, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to [[Page 6959]] 
establish Class E airspace area at Lamar, Colorado (59 FR 62360). 
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. This 
action is necessary to accommodate a new instrument approach procedure 
at Lamar Municipal Airport. The area will be depicted on aeronautical 
charts for pilot reference. 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 Lamar, Colorado. 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
