SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On March 10, 2000, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of Title 14 of 
the Federal Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class E 
airspace area at Salem, MO (65 FR 12957). The proposed action will 
provide controlled airspace to accommodate aircraft executing the RNAV 
RWY 17, RNAV RWY 35 and VOR-A SIAPs.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments objecting to the proposal were received. 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 7400.9G, dated 
September 10, 1999, and effective September 16, 1999, 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 part 71 of Title 14 of the Federal Regulations 
(14 CFR part 71) establishes Class E airspace area at Salem, MO, by 
providing controlled airspace for aircraft executing the RNAV RWY 17, 
RNAV RWY 35 and VOR-A SIAPs. The area will be depicted on appropriated 
aeronautical charts.
    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 routing 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.
