DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 94-AGL-20]
Establishment of Class E Airspace; St. James, MN
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at St. James
Municipal Airport, St. James, MN, to accommodate a Nondirectional
Beacon (NDB), Runway 32. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700
to 1,200 feet above ground level (AGL) is needed for aircraft executing
the approach. The intended effect of this action is to provide
segregation of aircraft using instrument approach procedures in
instrument conditions from other aircraft operating in visual weather
conditions.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, December 8, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Jeffrey L. Griffith, Air Traffic Division, System Management Branch,

Plaines, Illinois 60018, telephone (708) 294-7568.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Wednesday, June 22, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E
airspace at St. James Municipal Airport, St. James, MN, to accommodate
a Nondirectional Beacon (NDB), Runway 32 (59 FR 32146). The proposal
was to add controlled airspace extending from 700 feet to 1,200 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.
The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. Class E airspace designations are published in
Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9B dated July 18, 1994, and effective
September 16, 1994, 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 part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
establishes Class E airspace at St. James Municipal Airport, St. James,
MN, to accommodate a Nondirectional Beacon (NDB), Runway 32. Controlled
airspace extending from 700 to 1,200 feet AGL is needed for aircraft
executing the approach.
Aeronautical maps and charts will reflect the defined area which
will enable pilots to circumnavigate the area in order to comply with
applicable visual flight rule requirements.
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.
It, therefore--(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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
