The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by revising the Class E airspace area at 
Eagle County Regional Airport, Eagle, CO. Additional controlled 
airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft using the new ILS

[[Page 26285]]

or LOC DME SIAP at Eagle County Regional Airport. This controlled 
airspace is necessary for the safety of IFR aircraft executing the new 
SIAPs at Eagle County Regional Airport, Eagle, CO.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 and 
6005 of FAA Order 7400.9N, dated September 1, 2005, and effective 
September 15, 2005, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 
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, when 
promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the Federal
