SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On December 6, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by modifying the Class E 
airspace area at Red Bluff, CA and Redding, CA (59 FR 65285). This 
action will provide additional controlled airspace for Instrument 
Flight Rules (IFR) procedures at the Red Bluff Municipal Airport.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this proposed 
rulemaking by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments were received. Class E airspace areas designated as a 
surface area for an airport and extending from 700 feet or more above 
the surface are published in Paragraph 6002 and Paragraph 6005, 
respectively, 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 designations listed in this document will be 
published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulation amends 
the Class E airspace areas at Red Bluff, CA and Redding, CA. This 
action will provide additional controlled airspace for Instrument 
Flight Rules (IFR) procedures at the Red Bluff Municipal Airport.
    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) [[Page 9283]] is not a ``significant 
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a 
``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 
FR 10034; 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.
