SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 27, 2005, a notice proposing to amend Part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) by establishing a Class E 
airspace area at Sutton, WV, was published in the Federal Register (70 
FR 21695-21696). The proposed action would provide controlled airspace 
to accommodate Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP), based on 
area navigation (RNAV), to Braxton County Airport. Interested parties 
were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting 
written comments on the proposal to the FAA on or before May 27, 2005. 
No comments to the proposal were received. The rule is adopted as 
proposed. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
America Datum 83. Class E airspace area designations for airspace 
extending upward from the surface of the earth are published in 
paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9M, dated August 30, 2004, and 
effective September 16, 2004, which is incorporated by reference in 14 
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will 
be published in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR Part 71) provides controlled Class E airspace extending upward from 
700 feet above the surface for aircraft conducting IFR operations 
within an 8-mile radius of Braxton County Airport, Sutton, WV.
    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 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 significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
