The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify Class E5 airspace to
accommodate a Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) for
runway 1/19 approach and a Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB) for runway
19 approach at Rich Lake Regional-Carl's Field Airport, Rice Lake, WI.
Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to 1,200 feet
AGL is needed to contain aircraft executing the approach at Regional-
Carl's Field Airport. The area would be depicted on appropriate
aeronautical charts thereby enabling pilots to circumnavigate the area
or otherwise comply with IFR procedures. Class E airspace designations
for airspace areas 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 would be published subsequently in
the Order.
The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed 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 proposed rule will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
