    Revision of Class E Airspace; Rice Lake, WI
    
    AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
    
    ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: This notice proposes to revise Class E airspace to accommodate 
    a Nondirectional Radio Bacon (NDB) for runway 19 approach at Rice Lake 
    Municipal Airport, Rice Lake, WI. Controlled airspace extending upward 
    from 700 to 1200 feet above ground level (AGL) is needed for aircraft 
    executing the approach. The intended effect of this proposal is to 
    provide segregation of aircraft using instrument approach procedures in 
    instrument conditions from other aircraft operating in visual weather 
    conditions.
    
    DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 11, 1995.
    
    ADDRESSES: Send comments on the proposal in triplicate to: Federal 
    Aviation Administration, Office of the Assistant Chief Counsel, AGL-7,

    The Proposal
    
        The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
    Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise Class E airspace to 
    accommodate a Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB) for runway 19 approach 
    at Rice Lake Municipal Airport, Rice Lake, WI. Controlled airspace 
    extending from 700 to 1200 feet AGL is needed for aircraft executing 
    the approach. The intended affect of this action is to provide 
    segregation of aircraft using instrument approach procedures in 
    instrument conditions from other aircraft operating in visual weather 
    conditions. The area would be depicted on appropriate aeronautical 
    charts thereby enabling pilots to circumnavigate the area or otherwise 
    comply with IFR procedures. Class E airspace designations for airspace 
    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 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 
    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.
