SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On December 5, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace 
area at Pangborn Memorial Airport, Wenatchee, Washington (59 FR 62365). 
Interested parties were invited to participate in the rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments 
were received. However, in the proposal one line was inadvertently 
omitted in the airspace description. The line has been inserted and 
comments are again solicited. After review of any comments and, if the 
FAA finds that further changes are appropriate, it will initiate 
rulemaking proceedings to extend the effective date or to amend the 
regulation.
    Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the views and 
suggestions presented are particularly helpful in evaluating the 
effects of the rule, and in determining whether additional rulemaking 
is required. Comments are specifically invited on the overall 
regulatory, aeronautical, economic, environmental, and energy-related 
aspects of the rule which might suggest the need to modify the rule.
    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 Pangborn Memorial 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 Wenatchee, Washington. 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.
