FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James Riley, ANM-532.2, Federal 
Aviation Administration, Docket No. 97-ANM-3, 1601 Lind Avenue S.W., 
Renton, Washington, 98055-4056; telephone number: (206) 227-2537.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On March 3, 1997, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending the Class E airspace 
area at Salt Lake City, Utah, (62 FR 9399) to fully contain aircraft 
holding at WAATS Intersection, within controlled airspace. Currently, 
there is a possibility that aircraft holding at WATTS intersection, at 
certain altitudes, would be operating outside controlled airspace. This 
action corrects that situation. 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 
designation 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 Salt Lake City, Utah. The FAA has determined that 
this proposed 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.
