DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 93-AGL-26]

 

Revision of Class E Airspace; Oconto, WI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action revises Class E airspace (Class E airspace areas 
extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth) 
at Oconto Municipal Airport, Oconto, WI, to accomodate Nondirectional 
Beacon (NDB) Runway 29 Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP). 
Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet above ground 
level (AGL) is needed to contain 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, June 23, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Frink, Air Traffic Division, 
System Management Branch, AGL-530, Federal Aviation Administration,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On Thursday, January 6, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of 
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise Class E 
Airspace at Oconto Municipal Airport, Oconto, WI, to accommodate a 
Nondirectional Beacon (NDB) Rwy 29 Standard Instrument Approach 
Procedure (SIAP) (58 FR 706). The proposal was to add controlled 
airspace extending from 700 feet to 1200 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 7400.9A 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 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 
revises Class E airspace at (Class E airspace areas extending upward 
from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth) at Oconto 
Municipal Airport, Oconto, WI, to accommodate Nondirectional Beacon 
(NDB) Runway 29 Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP). 
Controlled airspace extending from 700 to 1200 feet AGL is needed to 
contain 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.
