The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to establish 
Class D airspace at Camp Ripley, MN, and establish Class E airspace at 
Camp Ripley, MN, for the Ray S. Miller Army Airfield. Controlled 
airspace extending upward from the surface of the earth is needed to 
contain aircraft executing instrument approach procedures. The area 
would be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts. Class D airspace 
designations are published in paragraph 5000, Class E airspace areas 
extending upward from the surface of the earth are published in 
paragraph 6002, of FAA Order 7400.9N dated September 1, 2005, and 
effective September 16, 2005, which is incorporated by reference in 14 
CFR 71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace designations listed in this 
document would be published subsequently in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves 
an establishment body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
Therefore this, proposed regulation--(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 proposed rule will not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
