The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class E airspace at
Sheridan, Wyoming, to accommodate a new instrument approach procedure
at Sheridan County 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. This action also incorporates
revised coordinates for the airport reference point (ARP) due to
construction of a new runway. Class E airspace is published in
Paragraph 6002 and 6005, respectively, 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 airspace designation 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 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.
