SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On February 6, 2002, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 by 
modifying the Class E airspace area at Daggett, CA (67 FR 5528). 
Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more 
above the surface is needed to contain aircraft executing the RNAV 
(GPS) RWY 22 SIAP and RNAV (GPS) 26 SIAP to Barstow-Daggett Airport. 
This action will provide adequate controlled airspace for aircraft 
executing the RNAV (GPS) RWY

22 SIAP and RNAV (GPS) 26 SIAP to Barstow-Daggett Airport, Daggett, CA.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking, 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposed to the FAA. 
No comments to the proposal were received. Class E airspace 
designations for airspace extending upward from 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 Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies the Class E airspace area 
at Daggett, CA. The establishment of a RNAV (GPS) RWY 22 SIAP and RNAV 
RWY 26 SIAP to Barstow-Daggett Airport has made this action necessary. 
The effect of this action will provide adequate airspace for aircraft 
executing the RNAV (GPS) RWY 22 SIAP and RNAV (GPS) RWY 26 SIAP to 
Barstow-Daggett Airport, Daggett, CA.
    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 12766; (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.
