SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On August 27, 2001, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 Code of 
Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by revising Class E 
airspace at Cedar City, UT, in order to accommodate new RNAV SIAP at 
Cedar City Regional Airport, Cedar City, UT (66 FR 44993). This action 
provides Class E5 airspace at Cedar City, UT, to meet current criteria 
standards associated with the 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 at Cedar City, UT, in order to 
accommodate new RNAV (GPS) SIAP to the Cedar City Regional Airport, 
Cedar City, UT. This amendment revises Class E5 airspace at Cedar City, 
UT, to meet current criteria standards associated with the RNAV and 
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 Cedar City Regional 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 form 700-
feet or more above the surface of the earth, are published in Paragraph 
6005, of FAA Order 7400.9J dated August 31, 2001, and effective 
September 16, 2001, 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.
