AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

Global Positioning System (GPS) standard instrument approach procedure 
(SIAP) to Runway 31 has been developed for the Cheyenne Eagle Butte 
Airport. The intended effect of this action is to provide controlled 
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above ground level (AGL) and 
1200 feet AGL is needed for aircraft executing the approach.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, April 25, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On October 30, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 

[[Page 697]]
    Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E 
airspace at Eagle Butte, SD (60 FR 55227). The proposal was to add 
controlled airspace for aircraft executing the GPS SIAP at Cheyenne 
Eagle Butte 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 
designations for areas extending upward 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 part 71) establishes Class E airspace at Eagle Butte, SD to provide 
adequate controlled airspace for operators executing the GPS Runway 31 
SIAP at Cheyenne Eagle Butte Airport. Controlled airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet AGE and 1200 feet AGL is needed for aircraft 
executing the approach. The area will be depicted on appropriate 
aeronautical charts thereby enabling pilots to circumnavigate the area 
or otherwise comply with IFR procedures.
    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.
