SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On January 24, 1996, a proposal to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise the Class E airspace at 
Guthrie, TX, was published in the Federal Register (61 FR 1867). 
Development of VOR/DME RNAV SIAP's to RWY's 01 and 19 at 6666 Ranch 
Airport, Guthrie, TX. requires the revision of the Class E airspace at 
this airport. The proposal was to revise the controlled airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet AGL to contain IFR operations in 
controlled airspace during portions of the terminal operation and while 
transitioning between the enroute and terminal environments.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments to the proposal were received. The rule is adopted as 
proposed.
    The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. Class E airspace designations for airspace areas 
extending upward from 700 feet or more AGL 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 
published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) amends the Class E airspace located at 6666 Ranch Airport, 
Guthrie, TX, to provide controlled airspace extending upward from 700 
feet AGL for aircraft executing the VOR/DME RNAV SIAP's to RWY's 01 and 
19.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations that need frequent and 
routine amendments 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.
