SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 18, 2005, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to modify Class E airspace at Cheyenne, 
WY (70 FR 20093). New routes sequences from the en route environment 
to/from Cheyenne Regional Airport/Jerry Olson Field makes this proposed 
necessary.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rule making 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposed to the FAA. 
No comments were received. Class E airspace designation are published 
in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9N dated September 1, 2005, and 
effective September 16, 2005, which is incorporated by reference in 14 
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will 
be published subsequently in that order.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 revises Class E airspace at 
Cheyenne, WY. New IFR routes sequences through this airspace from the 
en route environment to/from Cheyenne Regional Airport/Jerry Olson 
Field makes this rules necessary. Additional controlled airspace 
extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface is necessary for the 
safety of IFR aircraft. This rule also corrects an error in the 
geographic coordinates of the Cheyenne VORTAC and the airport's 
designation as stated in the Notice of Proposed Rule Making.
    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. 
Therefore, this regulation: (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, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
