ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends the Blanding, Utah, Class E airspace to 
accommodate a Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrumental 
Approach Procedure (SIAP) to the Blanding Municipal Airport. A 
correction is being made herein by adding language to the legal 
description that will exclude from this action that airspace within 
Federal airways and within the Farmington, NM, Class E airspace area. 
This language was inadvertently omitted from the proposed action.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 30, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On July 29, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class E airspace at 
Blanding, Utah, to accommodate a new GPS SIAP to the Blanding Municipal 
Airport (61 FR 39370). In the proposed legal description, a statement 
which excludes airspace within Federal airways and the Farmington, NM, 
Class E airspace area from this action was inadvertently omitted. That 
error is corrected herein. Interested parties were invited to 
participate in the rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments 
on the proposal. No comments were received.
    The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700 
feet or more above the surface of the earth are published in paragraph 
6005 on FAA Order 7400.9D dated September 4, 1996, and effective 
September 16, 1996, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. 
The Class E airspace listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of Federal Aviation Regulations 
establishes Class E airspace at Blanding, Utah. 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. It, therefore, (1) is not 
``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.
