14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 99-AGL-17]
Modification of Class E Airspace; Willmar, MN
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice modifies Class E airspace at Willmar, MN. A VHF
Omnidirectional Range (VOR) or Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (Rwy) 28, Amendment
(Amdt) 2, and a VOR SIAP Rwy 10, Amdt 2, have been developed for
Willmar Municipal-John L. Rice Field Airport. Controlled airspace
extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet above ground level (AGL) is
needed to contain aircraft executing the approaches. This action adds a
northwest extension and a southeast extension to the existing
controlled airspace for this airport.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, September 9, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Monday, April 5, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71
to modify Class E airspace at Willmar, MN (64 FR 16368). 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 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
Willmar, MN, to accommodate aircraft executing the proposed VOR or GPS
Rwy 28 SIAP, Amdt 2, and the VOR SIAP Rwy 10, Amdt 2, at Willmar
Municipal-John L. Rice Field 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 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.
