FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dennis Ripley, ANM-520.6, Federal 
Aviation Administration, Docket No. 98-ANM-12, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On June 22, 1998, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14, Code of 
Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by revising the Price, 
UT, Class E airspace area (63 FR 33881). This revision provides the 
additional airspace necessary to encompass the holding pattern for the 
new GPS Runway 36 SIAP for the Carbon County Airport, Price, UT. 
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

[[Page 49282]]

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 
Price, UT, by providing the additional airspace necessary to fully 
contain new flight procedures at Carbon County Airport. This 
modification of airspace allows the holding pattern and the transition 
procedure for the new 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 Carbon County 
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.
