SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On June 9, 1997, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending the Class E airspace 
area at Salyer Farms, CA (62 FR 31371). This action will provided 
adequate controlled airspace to accommodate the Special GPS RWY 32 SIAP 
at Salyer Farms Airport, Salyer Farms, CA.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments to the proposal were received. Class E airspace 
designations 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 
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
this Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) amends the Class E airspace area at Salyer Farms, CA. The 
development of a Special GPS SIAP has made this action necessary. The 
intended effect of this action is to provide adequate airspace for 
aircraft executing the Special GPS RWY 32 SIAP at Salyer Farms Airport, 
Salyer Farms, CA.
    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. 
Therefore, this regulation--(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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
