DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 95-AGL-19]
Modification of Class E Airspace; Rice Lake, WI
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E5 airspace to accommodate a Very
High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) for runway 19 approach and a
Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB) for runway 1/19 approach at Rice Lake
Regional--Carls' Field Airport, Rice Lake, WI. Controlled airspace
extending upward from 700 to 1,200 feet above ground level (AGL) is
needed for 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, August 15, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On November 24, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify the Class E5 at
Rice Lake Regional--Carl's Field Airport, Rice Lake, WI (60 FR 58022).
The proposal was to add controlled airspace extending upward from 700
to 1,200 feet AGL for 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 E5 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 7400.9C dated August 17, 1995, and effective September 16, 1995,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E5
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 (14
CFR part 71) modifies Class E airspace to accommodate a Very High
Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) for runway 19 approach and a
Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB) for runway 1/19 approach at Rice Lake
Regional--Carl's Field Airport, Rice Lake, WI. Controlled airspace
extending upward from 700 to 1,200 feet AGL is needed for aircraft
executing the approach. The area will be depicted on appropriate
aeronautical charts thereby enabling pilots to circumnavigate the area
or otherwise comply with IFR procedures.
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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
