14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 94-AGL-7]
Establishment of Class D and E Airspace; Kenosha, WI.; Revocation
of Class E Airspace; Kenosha, WI
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes Class D and Class E4 airspace at
Kenosha, WI. This action also revokes the Class E5 airspace at Kenosha,
WI. An air traffic control tower has been commissioned at Kenosha
Municipal Airport. The intended effect of this action is to provide
adequate Class D airspace for instrument flight rules (IFR) operations
and require two-way radio communication at Kenosha Municipal Airport,
and to establish Class E airspace for instrument approach procedures in
areas outside the Class D surface area.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, October 13, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Robert J. Woodford, Air Traffic Division, System Management Branch,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Monday, April 4, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class D and
E4 Airspace at Kenosha Municipal Airport, Kenosha, WI (59 FR 15667).
The proposal was to add controlled airspace extending upward from the
surface designated as an extension to a Class D surface area.
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 D, Class E4 and Class E5 airspace designations
are published respectively in Paragraphs 5000, 6004, and 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.9A dated June 17, 1993, and effective September 16, 1993,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 (58 FR 36298; July 6,
1993). The Class D and E4 airspace designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in the Order. The Class E5 airspace
designation listed in this document will be subsequently removed.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
establishes Class D airspace with Class E arrival extensions at Kenosha
Municipal Airport. An air traffic control tower was commissioned at
Kenosha Municipal Airport. Controlled airspace at an airport with an
operating control tower is designated as Class D airspace. The intended
effect of this action is to provide adequate Class D airspace for IFR
operations and require two-way radio communications at Kenosha
Municipal Airport.
The Class D surface area does not completely contain six instrument
approach procedures. This Class E4 airspace will contain the instrument
approach procedures in controlled airspace without imposing a
requirement on aircraft operating under visual flight rules within the
Class E4 area to communicate with the Kenosha Municipal Airport air
traffic control tower.
The Class E5 airspace at Kenosha Municipal Airport is revoked due
to the commissioning of the air traffic control tower.
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.
