SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On November 30, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class E 
airspace at Colorado City, AZ (59 FR 65284). The proposed action would 
provide controlled airspace to accommodate an NDB SIAP at the Colorado 
Airport.
    Interested parties 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. Class E airspace 
areas extending from 700 feet or above the surface of the earth are 
published in paragraphs 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 the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) establishes Class E airspace at Colorado City, AZ. This 
action will provide adequate Class E airspace for IFR operators 
executing the NDB approach at the Colorado City Municipal Airport. The 
coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American Datum 
83.
    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. 
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 will not have a significant economic impact on 
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
