SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On November 8, 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 Winnemucca, NV (60 FR 56277). This action will provide 
adequate controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 
operations at Winnemucca Municipal Airport, Winnemucca, NV.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments to the proposal 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 
designations 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 Winnemucca, NV. The 
development of a GPS SIAP at Winnemucca Municipal Airport has made this 
action necessary. The intended effect of this action is to provide 
adequate Class E airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 14/32 SIAP 
at Winnemucca Municipal Airport, Winnemucca NV.
    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 would not have a significant economic impact 
on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
