SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On July 10, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class E airspace at 
Torrington, Wyoming, by providing additional controlled airspace to 
accommodate a NDB SIAP to the Torrington Municipal Airport (61 FR 
36316).
    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 of 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 amends 
Class E airspace at Torrington, Wyoming. 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 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.
