The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace at 
Arco, Idaho, to accommodate a new instrument approach procedure at 
Arco-Butte County 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 7400.9B 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 
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.
