AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Bluffs, IA to accommodate a Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) at the Council Bluffs Municipal
Airport. This action will provide for additional controlled airspace

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Aviation Administration, 601 E. 12th St., Kansas City, MO 64106;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On October 3, 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 Council Bluffs, IA (60 FR 51747). The proposed action
would provide additional controlled airspace to accommodate a GPS SIAP
to runway 31 at the Council Bluffs Municipal 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 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 will be published subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR
[[Page 63416]]
part 71) amends the Class E airspace area at Council Bluffs, IA, by
providing additional controlled airspace for aircraft executing the GPS
Runway 31 SIAP to the 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.
