The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class D and Class E 
airspace at Hailey, Idaho, to accommodate a new GPS SIAP at Friedman 
Memorial 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 D airspace areas extending upward from 
the surface of the earth, and Class E airspace areas extending upward 
from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth are published in 
paragraph 5000 and paragraph 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9C 
dated August 17, 1995, and effective September 16, 1995, 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 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.
