SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On January 23, 2001, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 Code of 
Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class E 
airspace at Heber City, UT, in order to accommodate a new RNAV SIAP and 
Departure Procedure (DP) at Heber City Russ McDonald Field, Heber City, 
UT (66 FR 7435). This amendment provides Class E5 airspace at Heber 
City, UT, to meet current criteria standards associated with the SIAPs 
and DP. Interested parties were invited to participate in the 
rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal. 
No comments were received.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 
CFR part 71) establishes Class E airspace at Heber City, UT, in order 
to accommodate a new SIAP and DP to the Heber City Russ McDonald Field, 
Heber City, UT. This amendment establishes Class E5 airspace at Heber 
City, UT, to meet current criteria standards associated with the RNAV 
SIAP and DP. The FAA establishes Class E airspace where necessary to 
contain aircraft transitioning between the terminal and en route 
environments. This rule is designed to provide for the safe and 
efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight 
operations under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) at the Heber City Russ 
McDonald Field and between the terminal and en route transition stages.
    The area will be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot 
reference. 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 7400.9H dated September 1, 2000, and effective 
September 16, 2000, 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 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.
