14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 97-AGL-60]
Modification of Class E Airspace; Cumberland, WI
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace at Cumberland, WI. A
Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure
(SIAP) to Runway (Rwy) 27 has been developed for Cumberland 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 adds an extension to the east for the existing
controlled airspace.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, April 23, 1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Monday, November 10, 1997, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part
71 to modify Class E airspace at Cumberland, WI (62 FR 60460). The
proposal was to add controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to
1200 feet AGL to contain aircraft conducting 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.
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 are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9E
dated September 10, 1997, and effective September 16, 1997, 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
Cumberland, WI, to accommodate aircraft executing the GPS Rwy 27 SIAP
and IFR operations at Cumberland Municipal Airport by adding an
extension to the east for 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.
