Modification of Class E Airspace; Madison, SD
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace at Madison, SD. A Global
Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP)
to Runway (Rwy) 33, and a VHF Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring
Equipment-A (VOR/DME-A) SIAP, have been developed for Madison Municipal
Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet
[[Page 30591]]
above ground level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft executing the
approaches. This action increases the radius of the existing controlled
airspace for Madison Municipal Airport.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 13, 1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Monday, March 23, 1998, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71
to modify Class E airspace at Madison, SD (63 FR 13805). 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 participated 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 7400.9E dated September 10, 1997, and effective September 16,
1997, 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 71 modifies Class E airspace at Madison,
SD, to accommodate aircraft executing the proposed GPS Rwy 33 SIAP, and
the VOR/DME-A SIAP, at Madison Municipal Airport by increasing the
radius of the existing controlled airspace for 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 the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
