SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On January 15, 2004, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending Class E5 
airspace at Lexington, TN, (69 FR 2312). This action provides adequate 
Class E5 for IFR operations at Lexington, TN, Franklin Wilkins Airport, 
Designations for Class E are published in FAA Order 7400.9L, dated 
September 2, 2003, and effective September 16, 2003, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E designations 
listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments objecting to the proposal were received.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) amends Class E5 airspace at Lexington, TN.
    The FAA has determined that this rule 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 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.
