SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On December 5, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify the North Bend, 
OR, Class E airspace (59 FR 62361). Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written 
comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class E 
airspace designations are published in paragraphs 6002 and 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 
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) amends the North Bend, OR, Class E airspace by enlarging 
portions of the class E airspace to encompass new instrument procedures 
for aircraft operations within controlled airspace.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations for which 
[[Page 17443]] 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
