SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On March 17, 1998, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14, Code of 
Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by revising the Cedar 
City, UT, Class E airspace area (63 FR 13015). This revision provides 
the additional airspace necessary to encompass new and revised SIAP for 
the Cedar City Regional Airport, Cedar City, UT. This action also 
corrects the coordinates for the Cedar City Regional Airport which were 
updated since the proposal 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 Cedar 
City, UT, by providing the additional airspace necessary to fully 
contain new and revised flight procedures at Cedar City Regional 
Airport. This modification of airspace allows the missed approach, the 
holding procedure, and the transition procedure for the new or revised 
SIAP to be fully encompassed within controlled airspace. 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 Cedar City Regional 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.
