SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On August 2, 2005, the FAA proposed to establish Class E3 airspace 
at Riverside March Field, CA. Class E3 airspace areas are designated as 
arrival extensions to a Class C surface area. Class E arrival 
extensions are primarily designated to provide additional controlled 
airspace ancillary to a surface area to protect instrument operations 
for the primary airport, without imposing additional communications 
burdens on airspace users. This action is necessary at Riverside March 
Field to provide controlled airspace for Category E aircraft conducting 
circling maneuvers in conjunction with published Standard Instrument 
Approach Procedures. Generally, Category E aircraft are very large and/
or high performance. These aircraft require additional airspace when 
conducting circling maneuvers. This action will establish the Class E3 
airspace at Riverside March Field.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rule making 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments were received. Class E3 airspace is published in Paragraph 
6003 of FAA Order 7400.9N dated September 1, 2005, and effective 
September 16, 2005, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. 
The Class E Surface Area airspace designation listed in this document 
would be published subsequently in this Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 establishes Class E3 airspace at 
Riverside March Field, 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 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.
