14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 99-AGL-41]
Modification of Class E Airspace; Cable Union, WI
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace at Cable Union, WI. A
Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure
(SIAP) to Runway (Rwy) 34 has been developed for Cable Union Airport.
Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet above ground
level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft executing the approach. This
action decreases the radius of the existing controlled airspace and
redefines a portion of the existing controlled airspace using an
additional navigation facility for this airport.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, December 30, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Denis C. Burke, Air Traffic Division,
Airspace Branch, AGL-520, Federal Aviation Administration, 2300 East
Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois 60018, telephone (847) 294-7568.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Tuesday, July 13, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71
to modify Class E airspace at Cable Union, WI (64 FR 37715). 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 comments on the proposal to the FAA. One comment
strongly supporting the proposal was received from the Wisconsin
Department of Transportation. 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 modifies Class E airspace at Cable
Union, WI, to accommodate aircraft executing the proposed GPS Rwy 34
SIAP at Cable Union Airport by modifying the existing controlled
airspace. 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.
