14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 99-AGL-4]
Modification of Class E Airspace; Cahokia, IL
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice modifies Class E airspace at Cahokia, IL. A Global
Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP)
to Runway (Rwy) 30L has been developed for St. Louis Downtown-Parks
Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet
above ground level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft executing the
approach. This action increases the radius of the existing controlled
airspace for this airport.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, July 15, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michelle M. Behm, Air Traffic
Division, Airspace Branch, AGL-520, Federal Aviation Administration,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Friday, February 12, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part
71 to modify Class E airspace at Cahokia, IL (64 FR 7141). The proposal
was to add controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet
AGL to contain Instrument Flight Rule (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 of the
earth are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9F dated
September 10, 1998, and effective September 16, 1998, 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
Cahokia, IL, to accommodate aircraft executing the proposed GPS Rwy 30L
SIAP at St. Louis Downtown-Parks Airport by modifying 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
[[Page 20160]]
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.
