providing additional controlled airspace to accommodate a Global 
Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) 
to the Jackson Hole Airport. A correction is made herein clarifying 
that the intent of this rulemaking action is to amend existing Class E

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 22, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class E airspace at 
Jackson, Wyoming, by providing additional controlled airspace to 
accommodate a new GPS SIAP to the Jackson Hole Airport (61 FR 17606). A 
correction is made herein clarifying that the intent of this action is 
to amend existing Class E airspace rather than establish Class E 
airspace as was stated in the notice of proposed rulemaking action. A 
minor correction is also being made to the geographical position 
coordinates of the Jackson Hole Airport.

    Interested parties were invited to participate in the rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments 
were received.
    The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. Class E 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 listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of Federal Aviation Regulations amends 
Class E airspace at Jackson, Wyoming. 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 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).
