SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On May 27, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend the Lewiston, Idaho,

Class E airspace area (59 FR 27514). This action is necessary to

accommodate arrival/departure aircraft transitioning between the en

route and terminal area in southwestern Idaho. The area will be

depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference. Interested parties

were invited to participate in the rulemaking proceeding by submitting

written comments on the proposal. No comments were received. The

coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American Datum

83. Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above

the surface of the earth are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order

7400.9B dated July 18, 1994, and effective September 16, 1994, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace

designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in

the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of Federal Aviation Regulations Amends

Class E airspace at Lewiston, Idaho. 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. It, therefore, (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 will not have a

significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
