FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James E. Riley, ANM-537, Federal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On October 1, 1993, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending the Moab,

Utah, Class E airspace (58 FR 51257). 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 E airspace designations for airspace areas extending 700 feet

or more above the surface of the earth are published in Paragraph 6005

of FAA Order 7400.9A dated June 17, 1993, and effective September 16,

1993, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 (58 FR 36298;

July 6, 1993). The Class E airspace designation listed in this document

will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations

amends the Class E airspace at Moab, Utah, to provide controlled

airspace for aircraft executing a new instrument approach procedure at

Canyonlands Field Airport, Moab, Utah.

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 effect 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

Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
