SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On November 13, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class E airspace 
at Holyoke, Colorado, to accommodate a new GPS SIAP and a NDB SIAP to 
the Holyoke Airport (61 FR 58150).
    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 7400.9D dated September 4, 1996, and effective 
September 16, 1996, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. 
The Class E airspace 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 Holyoke, Colorado. 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.
