History

    On October 31, 1997, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14, Code of 
Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by amending the Class E 
airspace area at Powell WY (62 FR 58931). This action would provide 
additional airspace to fully encompass a revised SIAP at Yellowstone 
Regional Airport. Interested parties were invited to participate in the 
rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal. 
No comments were received.
    This action is the same as the proposal except for two 
typographical errors discovered (and corrected herein) in the 
coordinates for the Powell NDB and the Powell Municipal Airport. 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 
7400.9E, dated September 10, 1997, and effective September 16, 1997, 
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 14 CFR part 71 revises the 1200-foot Class E 
airspace at Powell, WY. The revised airspace, which overlies the 
Yellowstone Regional Airport, provides an extension to the south from 
approximately 6 to 26 miles, thus fully encompassing the new SIAP.
    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.
