SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On January 26, 1998, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14, Code of 
Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by revising the McCall 
Class E airspace area at McCall, ID, (63 FR 3674). This action provides 
the airspace to fully encompass two SIAPs for the McCall Airport. The 
coordinates for the airport were recently updated and are corrected 
herein. 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 7400.9E, 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 modifies Class E airspace at 
McCall, ID. This modification of airspace is necessary to fully contain 
the Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway 34 SIAP and the Non-
directional Radio Beacon (NDB) Runway 34 SIAP within controlled 
airspace. This revision adds approximately 45 miles of additional 
airspace to the west, a 17 mile extension to the south, and smaller 
extensions to the north and east. The FAA establishes Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet AGL, where necessary, to contain 
aircraft transitioning between the terminal and en route environments. 
The intended effect of this rule is designed to provide safe and 
efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight 
operations under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) at the McCall Airport 
and between the terminal and en route transition stages.
    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. 
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.
