SUMMARY: This action establishes a Class E airspace area Davis/
Woodland/Winters, CA. The development of a Global Positioning System 
(GPS) Runway (RWY) 16 and RWY 34 and a VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) 
RWY 34 Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) has made this 
action necessary. The intended effect of this action is to provide 
adequate controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 
operations Yolo County-Davis/Woodland/Winters Airport, Davis/Woodland/
Winters, CA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On May 1, 1997, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 by 
establishing a Class E airspace area at Davis/Woodland/Winters, CA (62 
FR 23699). This action will provide adequate controlled airspace to 
accommodate the GPS RWY 16, RWY 34, and VOR RWY 34 SIAP at Yolo County-
Davis/Woodland/Winters Airport, Davis/Woodland/Winter, 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 for airspace 
extending 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 establishes a Class E airspace 
area at Davis/Woodland/Winters, CA. The development of a GPS and VOR 
SIAP has made this action necessary. The effect of this action will 
provide adequate airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 16, RWY, 
34, and VOR 34 SIAP at Yolo County-Davis/Woodland/Winters Airport, 
Davis/Woodland/Winters, 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.
