[Airspace Docket No. 95-AGL-14]
Amendment of Class E Airspace; Britton, SD
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This amendment modifies Class E airspace at Britton, SD. A
nondirectional radio bacon (NBD) or Global Positioning System (GPS)
standard instrument approach procedure (SIAP) to Runway 13 has been
revised for the Britton Municipal Airport. The intended effect of this
action is to provide controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above ground level (AGL) and 1200 feet AGL for aircraft executing the
approach.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, April 25, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Eleanor J. Williams, Air Traffic Division, System Management Branch,

Plaines, Illinois 60018, telephone (708) 294-7568.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On October 30, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation regulations (14 CFR part 71) by modifying the Class E
airspace area at Britton, SD (60 FR 55226). The proposal was to add
controlled airspace to accommodate the revised NDB or GPS SIAP.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments objecting to the proposal were received. Class E airspace
designations for 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
designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) amends Class E airspace at Britton, SD, by providing
additional controlled airspace for aircraft executing the NBD or GPS
Runway 13 SIAP at Britton Municipal Airport. Controlled airspace
extending upward from 700 feet AGL and 1200 feet AGL is needed for
aircraft executing the approach. The area will be depicted on
appropriate aeronautical charts thereby enabling pilots to
circumnavigate the area or otherwise comply with IFR procedures.
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 will not have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
