14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 93-AGL-26]
Revision of Class E Airspace; Oconto, WI
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action revises Class E airspace (Class E airspace areas
extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth)
at Oconto Municipal Airport, Oconto, WI, to accomodate Nondirectional
Beacon (NDB) Runway 29 Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP).
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, June 23, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Frink, Air Traffic Division,
System Management Branch, AGL-530, Federal Aviation Administration,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Thursday, January 6, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise Class E
Airspace at Oconto Municipal Airport, Oconto, WI, to accommodate a
Nondirectional Beacon (NDB) Rwy 29 Standard Instrument Approach
Procedure (SIAP) (58 FR 706). 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
revises Class E airspace at (Class E airspace areas extending upward
from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth) at Oconto
Municipal Airport, Oconto, WI, to accommodate Nondirectional Beacon
(NDB) Runway 29 Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP).
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 rule 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
