The Proposal

The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class E airspace at

Jackson, Wyoming, to accommodate a new STAR to SLC International

Airport. The area would be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot

reference. 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 7400.9D dated September 4, 1996, and effective September

16, 1996, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class

E airspace designation listed in this document would be published

subsequently in the 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.

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, when promulgated,

will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of

small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
