    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.

    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.
