SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On Monday, January 30, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of 
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by revoking the Class 
E5 airspace at Farmington, PA. This airspace extended upward from 700 
feet above the surface for a SIAP serving the Nemacolin Airport, a 
private use airport. The SIAP has been canceled and there are no other 
instrument procedures at that airport.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comment on the proposal to the FAA. No 
comments objecting to the proposal were received. Class E airspace 
designations for airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more 
above the surface of the earth are published in paragraph 6005 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 E airspace 
designation listed in this document will be subsequently removed from 
the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) amends the Class E airspace at Farmington, PA by revoking 
the Class E5 airspace associated with the former standard instrument 
approach procedure at Nemacolin Airport.
    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 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.
