ACTION: Final rule.

The only standard instrument approach procedure (SIAP) at the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On March 19, 1996, the President, Wentzville Airport, Inc. 
requested cancellation of the instrument approach procedure and advised 
that the airport was converted to a private-use airport in August 1995. 
Based on that request the Class E controlled airspace area is no longer 
necessary.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) removes the Class E airspace at

[[Page 4633]]

Wentzville, Missouri, extending upward from 700 feet above the surface. 
The cancellation of this SIAP on April 23, 1996, at Wentzville Airport 
has made this proposal necessary.
    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 12886; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT 
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 CFR 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, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
