DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 93-AGL-22]

 

Change of Class E Airspace; Mosinee, WI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action changes Class E airspace at Mosinee, WI, to Class 
D airspace due to the commissioning of an air traffic control tower. 
Class D airspace designation requires communication capability with 
aircraft down to the runway surface, and weather reporting available by 
Automated Weather Observation Station (AWOS). 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.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 23, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Robert J. Woodford, Air Traffic Division, System Management Branch, 
AGL-530, Federal Aviation Administration, 2300 East Devon Avenue, Des 
Plaines, Illinois 60018, telephone (708) 294-7568.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) changes Class E2 airspace at Mosinee, WI, to Class D 
airspace due to the commissioning of an air traffic control tower. 
Class D airspace designation requires communication capability with 
aircraft down to the runway surface, and weather reporting available by 
Automated Weather Observation Station (AWOS). 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. 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 rules requirements.
    The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. Class D airspace designations are published in 
Paragraph 5000 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). Class E airspace designations are 
published in Paragraph 6002 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 airspace 
designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
the Order. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document 
will be subsequently removed.
    Because the public needs to be made immediately aware of the change 
in the airspace designation, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 
553(b) are impracticable.
    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. Therefore, I find that good cause 
exists, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d), for making this amendment 
effective in less than 30 days in order to promote the safe and 
efficient handling of air traffic in the area.
