FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy Randolph, Air Traffic Division,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On July 25, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by modifying the Class E airspace 
area at Clay Center, KS (60 FR 37972). The proposed action would 
provide additional controlled airspace to accommodate a GPS SIAP to 
Runway 17 at the Clay Center 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 more above the surface of the earth 
are published in FAA Order 7400.9C, par. 6005, dated August 17, 1995, 
and effective September 16, 1995, 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 

[[Page 50410]]
part 71) amends the Class E airspace area at Clay Center, KS, by 
providing additional controlled airspace for aircraft executing the GPS 
Runway 17 SIAP to the Clay Center 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) 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.
