Establishment of Class E Airspace; Park Falls, WI
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Park Falls, WI. A
Nondirectional Beacon (NDB) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure
(SIAP) to Runway (Rwy) 36 has been developed for Park Falls Municipal
Airport. Controlled Airspace extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet
above ground level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft executing the
approach. This action creates controlled airspace with a southern
extension for Park Falls Municipal Airport.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 28, 1999.

Michelle M. Behm, Air Traffic Division, Airspace Branch, AGL-520,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Friday, July 24, 1998, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71
to establish Class E airspace at Park Falls, WI (63 FR 39775). The
proposal was to add controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to
1200 feet AGL to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations in
controlled airspace during portions of the terminal operation and while
transiting between the enroute and terminal environments.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written
[[Page 55330]]
comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments objecting to the
proposal were received. Class E airspace designations for airspace
areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the
earth are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9F dated
September 10, 1998, and effective September 16, 1998, 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 14 CFR part 71 establishes Class E airspace at
Park Falls, WI, to accommodate aircraft executing the proposed NDB Rwy
36 SIAP at Park Falls Municipal Airport by creating controlled airspace
with a southern extension for the airport. The area will be depicted on
appropriate aeronautical charts.
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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
