The Proposal

    This action would amend Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations, part 
71 (14 CFR part 71) by revising Class E airspace at Jackson Hole 
Airport, Jackson, WY. Additional Class E controlled airspace is 
necessary to accommodate aircraft using a new LPV approach procedure 
with LNAV/VNAV minimums. This airspace revision would improve the 
safety of IFR aircraft executing the new LPV approach procedure at 
Jackson Hole Airport, Jackson, WY. Controlled airspace is necessary 
where there is a requirement for IFR services, which include arrival, 
departure, and transitioning to/from the terminal or en route 
environment. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 
6005 of FAA Order 7400.9N dated September 1, 2005, and effective 
September 15, 2005, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. 
The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will be 
published subsequently in this order.
    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. 
Therefore, this proposed 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 proposed rule would not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
