The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise the Class E airspace, 
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet AGL, at Deming 
Municipal Airport, Deming, NM. A new GPS SIAP to RWY 04 has made this 
proposal to amend the controlled airspace necessary. The intended 
effect of this proposal is to provide adequate Class E airspace for 
aircraft executing the GPS SIAP to RWY 04 at Deming, NM.
    The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. Designated Class E airspace areas extending upward 
from 700 feet or more above ground level are published in Paragraph 
6005 of FAA Order 7400.9C, 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 would be 
published subsequently in the order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves 
an established body of technical regulations that need frequent and 
routine amendments 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, when promulgated, will not have a significant impact on a 
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
