The Proposal

    The FAA is considering amending part 71 of the Federal Aviation 
Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class E2 airspace, 
designated as a surface area for an airport, at Lewisburg, WV, to 
accommodate current SIAPs and for IFR operations at the Greenbrier 
Valley Airport.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves 
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
Class E2 airspace areas designated as a surface area for an airport are 
published in Paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9C, dated August 17, 1995 
and effective September 16, 1995. The Class E airspace designation 
listed in this document would be published subsequently in the Order. 
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 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 proposed rule would not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
