14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 99-AGL-41]
Proposed Modification of Class E Airspace; Cable Union, WI
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action proposes to modify Class E airspace at Cable
Union, WI. A Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument
Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (Rwy) 34 has been developed for
Cable Union Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to
1,200 feet above ground level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft
executing the approach. This action proposes to decrease the radius of
the existing controlled airspace and redefine a portion of the existing
controlled airspace using an additional navigation facility for this
airport.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 30, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Send comments on the proposal in triplicate to: Federal
Aviation Administration, Office of the Assistant Chief Counsel, AGL-7,
Rules Docket No. 99-AGL-41, 2300 East Devon Avenue, Des Plaines,
Illinois 60018.
The official docket may be examined in the Office of the Assistant
Chief Counsel, Federal Aviation Administration, 2300 East Devon Avenue,
Des Plaines, Illinois. An informal docket may also be examined during
normal business hours at the Air Traffic Division, Airspace Branch,
Federal Aviation Administration, 2300 East Devon Avenue, Des Plaines,
Illinois.

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to modify
Class E airspace at Cable Union, WI, to accommodate aircraft executing
the proposed GPS Rwy 34 SIAP at Cable Union Airport by modifying the
existing controlled airspace. Controlled airspace extending upward from
700 to 1,200 feet AGL is needed to contain aircraft executing the
approaches. The area would be depicted on appropriate aeronautical
charts. Class E airspace designations for airspace areas extending
upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth are
published in paragraphs 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 would be published subsequently in the Order.
The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore this, proposed 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
[[Page 37716]]
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 proposed rule will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
