SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On February 23, 2007, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to revise Class E airspace at Redmond, OR 
(72 FR 8137). This action would improve the safety of IFR aircraft 
executing this new RNAV GPS approach procedure at City-County Airport, 
Madras, OR. Interested parties were invited to participate in this 
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the 
FAA. No comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of 
FAA Order 7400.9P dated September 1, 2006, and effective September 15, 
2006, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class 
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in that Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by revising Class E airspace at Redmond, OR. Additional 
controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate IFR aircraft executing 
a new RNAV (GPS) approach procedure at City-County Airport, Madras, OR.
    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 Department of Transportation (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.
