DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 94-AGL-7]

 

Proposed Establishment of Class D and E Airspace; Kenosha, WI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: This notice proposes to establish Class D and E4 airspace at 
Kenosha, WI, Class D airspace due to commissioning of an air traffic 
control tower and removal and revocation of Class E5 airspace. Class D 
designation requires communication capability with aircraft down to the 
runway surface, and weather reporting is available by Automated Weather 
Observation Station (AWOS). The intended affect of this proposal is to 
provide segregation of aircraft using instrument approach procedures in 
instrument conditions from other aircraft operating in visual weather 
conditions, and to establish Class E airspace to contain instrument 
approach procedures in areas outside the Class D surface area.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 4, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the proposal in triplicate to: Federal 
Aviation Administration, Office of the Assistant Chief Counsel, AGL-7, 
Rules Docket No. 94-AGL-7, 2300 East Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, 
Illinois 60018.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class D and E4 
airspace at Kenosha, WI, Class D airspace due to commissioning of an 
air traffic control tower and removal and revocation of Class E5 
airspace. Class D designation requires communication capability with 
aircraft down to the runway surface, and weather reporting is available 
by Automated Weather Observation Station (AWOS). 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, and to establish Class E 
airspace to contain instrument procedures in areas outside the Class D 
surface area. Aeronautical maps and charts would reflect the defined 
area which would enable pilots to circumnavigate the area in order to 
comply with applicable visual flight rule requirements.
    The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. Class D and E airspace designations are published in 
Paragraph 5000 and 6004 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 E airspace 
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in 
the Order. The Class E5 airspace designation listed in this document 
would be subsequently removed.
    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. 
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, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
