DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 95-AGL-02]
Amendment to Class E Airspace; Cadillac, MI
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This amendment modifies the Class E airspace at Cadillac, MI,
to accommodate a Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument
Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway 25 at the Wexford County Airport.
Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to 1,200 feet
above ground level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft executing the
approach. The intended effect of this section 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, November 9, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeffrey L. Griffith, Air Traffic
Division, System Management Branch, AGL-530, Federal Aviation
Administration, 2300 East Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois 60018,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On June 7, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 7 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify Class E airspace at
Cadillac, MI (60 FR 30029). 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. Class E airspace
designations for areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the
surface of the earth 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 (14
CFR part 71) amends Class E airspace at Cadillac MI, to accommodate
aircraft executing the GPS Runway 25 SIAP at Wexford County Airport.
Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to 1,200 feet AGL is
needed to contain aircraft executing the approach. The area will be
depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts thereby enabling pilots to
circumnavigate the area or otherwise comply with IFR procedures.
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 regualtion--(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
