FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Durham, ANM-520.7, Federal

Renton, Washington, 98055-4056: telephone number: (425) 227-2527.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On June 20, 2000, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 Code of 
Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class E 
airspace at Duchesne, UT, in order to accommodate a new SIAP to the 
Duchesne Municipal Airport, Duchesne, UT (65 FR 38226). This amendment 
provides additional Class E5 airspace at Duchesne, UT, to meet current 
criteria standards associated with SIAP. Interested parties were 
invited to participate in the rulemaking proceeding by submitting 
written comments on the proposal. No comments were received.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 
CFR part 71) revises Class E airspace extension at Duchesne, UT, in 
order to accommodate a new SIAP to the Duchesne Municipal Airport, 
Duchesne, UT. This amendment establishes Class E5 airspace at Duchesne, 
UT, to meet current criteria standards associated with the SIAP. The 
FAA establishes Class E airspace where necessary to contain aircraft 
transitioning between the terminal and en route environments. This rule 
is designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable 
airspace and to promote safe flight operations under Instrument Flight 
Rules (IFR) at the Duchesne Municipal Airport and between the terminal 
and en route transition stages.
    The area will be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot 
reference. 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 7400.9G dated September 1, 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 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.
