SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On June 1, 2007, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice 
of proposed rulemaking to establish Class E airspace at Hailey, ID (72 
FR 30498). This action would improve the safety of IFR aircraft at 
Friedman Memorial Airport, Hailey, ID. 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 establishing Class E airspace at Hailey, ID. Additional 
controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate IFR aircraft at 
Friedman Memorial Airport, Hailey, ID.
    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.
