Establishment of Class E Airspace; Appleton, MN
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace near Appleton, MN, to
accommodate a new Nondirectional Beacon (NDB) runway 13 Standard
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Appleton Municipal Airport,
Appleton, MN. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to 1200
feet above ground level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft executing
the approach. The intended effect of this action is to provide
segregation of aircraft using instrument approach procedures in
instrument conditions from other aircraft operating in visual weather
conditions.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, April 28, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Tuesday, November 30, 1993, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to accommodate a new
Nondirectional Beacon (NDB) runway 13 Standard Instrument Approach
Procedure (SIAP) to Appleton Municipal Airport, Appleton, MN (58 FR
63127). The proposal was to add controlled airspace extending from 700
feet 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. No comments objecting to the proposal were received.
The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. Class E airspace designations are published in
Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9A dated June 17, 1993, and effective
September 16, 1993, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1
(58 FR 36298; July 6, 1993). 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
establishes Class E airspace at Appleton, MN, to accommodate a new
Nondirectional Beacon (NDB) runway 13 Standard Instrument Approach
Procedure (SIAP) to Appleton Municipal Airport, Appleton, MN.
Controlled airspace extending from 700 to 1200 feet AGL is needed to
contain aircraft executing the approach.
Aeronautical maps and charts will reflect the defined area which
will enable pilots to circumnavigate the area in order to comply with
applicable visual flight rules requirements.
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.
It, therefore--(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
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
