The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 
Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class E airspace at 
Cedar City, UT. This proposal is essential in order to fully contain 
new and revised flight procedures within controlled airspace at Cedar 
City Regional Airport. The existing Class E airspace requires 
modification to fully encompass the missed approach, the holding, and 
the transition procedures to four new or revised SIAP's.
    The area would be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot 
reference. 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 would be 
published subsequently in the Order.
    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, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
