Establishment of Class E Airspace; Ten Sleep, WY
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft
using a new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS)
Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) at Red Reflet Ranch
Airport, Ten Sleep, WY. This will improve the safety of Instrument
Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft executing the new RNAV GPS SIAP at Red
Reflet Ranch Airport, Ten Sleep, WY.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On February 13, 2009, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to establish controlled airspace at Ten
Sleep, WY (74 FR 7204). Interested parties were invited to participate
in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the
proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.9S signed October 3, 2008, and effective October 31,
2008, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in that Order.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by establishing Class E airspace at Ten Sleep, WY. Controlled
airspace is necessary to accommodate IFR aircraft executing new RNAV
(GPS) SIAPs at Red Reflet Ranch Airport, Ten Sleep, WY.
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. The FAA's authority to
issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S.
Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 discusses the authority of the FAA
Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more
detail the scope of the agency's authority. This rulemaking is
promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A,
Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with
prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to
ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This
regulation is within the scope of that authority as it establishes
controlled airspace at Red Reflet Ranch Airport, Ten Sleep, WY.
