SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 24, 2000, a proposal to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise the Class E airspace at 
Barrow, AK, was published in the Federal Register (65 FR 21681). The 
proposal was necessary due to revisions to the instrument approaches to 
runway (RWY) 06 and RWY 24 at Wiley Post--Will Rogers Memorial Airport, 
Barrow, AK.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No public comments to the proposal were received, thus, the rule is 
adopted as written.
    The area will be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot 
reference. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. The Class E airspace areas designated as 700/1200 
foot transition areas are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 
7400.9G, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated September 1, 
1999, and effective September 16, 1999, which is incorporated by 
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in 
this document will be revised and published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 revises the Class E airspace at 
Barrow, AK, through the revisions of instrument approaches to the Wiley 
Post--Will Rogers Memorial Airport, Barrow, AK. The area will be 
depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference. The intended 
effect of this proposal is to provide adequate controlled airspace for 
IFR operations at Wiley Post--Will Rogers Memorial Airport, Barrow, AK.
    The FAA has determined that these proposed regulations only involve 
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, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
