SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On February 25, 2005, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending Class E5 
airspace at Parsons, TN, (70 FR 9257). This action provides adequate 
Class E5 airspace for IFR operations at Parsons, TN, Beech River 
Regional Airport. Designations for Class E are published in FAA Order 
7400.9M, dated August 30, 2004, and effective September 16, 2004, which 
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 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 Parsons, TN.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
