SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On February 14, 1997, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class E airspace 
at Burlington, Colorado, to accommodate new SIAPS to the Kit Carson 
County Airport (62 FR 6894). 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 
establishes Class E airspace at Burlington, Colorado. 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.
