14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 99-AGL-3]
Modification of Class E Airspace; Auburn, IN
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice modifies Class E airspace at Auburn, IN. A Global
Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP)
to Runway (Rwy) 09, and a GPS SIAP to Rwy 27, have been developed for
De Kalb County Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700
to 1200 feet above ground level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft
executing the approaches. This action increases the radius of the
existing controlled airspace for this airport.
DATES: 0901 UTC, July 15, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Michelle M. Behm, Air Traffic Division, Airspace Branch, AGL-520,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Monday, February 1, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part
71 to modify Class E airspace at Auburn, IN (64 FR 4796). The proposal
was to add controlled airspace extending upward from 700 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
[[Page 16342]]
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
Auburn, IN, to accommodate aircraft executing the proposed GPS Rwy 09
SIAP and GPS Rwy 27 SIAP at De Kalb County Airport by increasing the
radius of the existing controlled airspace at the airport. 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 Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
