necessary. The intended effect of this proposal is to provide adequate 
controlled airspace for aircraft operating in the vicinity of Angel 
Fire Airport, Angel Fire, NM.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On August 29, 2001, a proposal to amend 14 CFR Part 71 to establish 
Class E airspace at Angel Fire Airport, Angel Fire, NM, was published 
in the Federal Register (66 FR 45660). The proposal was to establish 
Class E airspace at Angel Fire Airport, Angel Fire, NM. The development 
of a RNAV GPS SIAP to Angel Fire Airport, Angel Fire, NM, has made this 
rule necessary. The intended effect of this proposal is to provide 
adequate controlled airspace for aircraft operating in the vicinity of 
Angel Fire Airport, Angel Fire, NM.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments to the proposal were received. The rule is adopted as 
proposed, with the exception of minor editorial changes.
    The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. Designated Class E airspace areas are published in 
paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9K, dated August 31, 2002, and 
effective September 16, 2002, which is incorporated by reference in 14 
CFR 71.1 The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will 
be published subsequently in the order.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR Part 71 establishes airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 7.5-mile radius of 
Angel Fire Airport and within 2 miles either side of the 005[deg] 
bearing from the airport extending from the 7.5-mile radius to 11.1 
miles north of the airport.
    The regulations adopted herein will not have substantial direct 
effects on the States, on the relationship between the national 
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and 
responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, it 
is determined that this final rule will not have federalism 
implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Further, the FAA has determined that this regulation only involves 
an established body of technical regulations that require frequent and 
routine amendments 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.
