SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On Monday, October 31, 2005, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 
71 to establish Class D airspace, and establish Class E airspace at 
Camp Ripley, MN (70 FR 62257). The proposal was to establish Class D 
airspace, and establish Class E airspace extending upward from the 
surface of the earth to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 
operations in controlled airspace during portions of the terminal 
operation and while transiting between the enroute and terminal 
environments.
    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. Class D airspace 
designations are published in paragraph 5000, and Class E airspace 
areas designated as surface areas in paragraph 6002, 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 D and 
Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 establishes Class D airspace at 
Camp Ripley, MN, and establishes Class E airspace at Camp Ripley, MN, 
to accommodate aircraft executing instrument flight procedures into and 
out of Ray S. Miller Army Airfield. The area will be depicted on 
appropriate aeronautical charts.
    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 curent. 
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 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 
certifield that this rule will not have a significant economic impact 
on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
