SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On October 20, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending the Class E 
airspace area at Bullhead City, AZ (60 FR 54205).
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments were received. Class E airspace designations 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 this Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) amends the Class E airspace area at Bullhead City, AZ. The 
intended effect of this action is to provide adequate Class E Airspace 
for aircraft executing the Standard Instrument Approach Procedure at 
Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport, Bullhead City, AZ.
    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 10034; 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 

[[Page 65021]]
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
