DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 94-AGL-4]
Modification of Class E Airspace; Freeport, IL
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace near Freeport, IL, to
accommodate a new Nondirectional Beacon (NDB) Runway 06 Standard
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) and a new Localizer (LOC) Runway
24 SIAP to Albertus Airport, Freeport, IL. Controlled airspace
extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet above ground level (AGL) is
needed for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations during portions of
the terminal operation and while transiting between the enroute and
terminal environments. The area will be depicted on aeronautical charts
to provide a reference for pilots operating in the area.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 18, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Robert J. Woodford, Air Traffic Division, System Management Branch,

Plaines, Illinois 60018, telephone (708) 294-7568.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Wednesday, April 6, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify Class E
airspace near Freeport, IL, (59 FR 16153). 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
modifies Class E airspace near Freeport, IL, to accommodate a new NDB
Runway 06 SIAP and a new LOC Runway 24 SIAP to Albertus Airport,
Freeport, IL. This modification increases the Class E airspace area
radius from 6.4 miles to 6.5 miles. Controlled airspace extending
upward from 700 to 1200 feet AGL is needed to contain IFR operations
during portions of the terminal operation and while transiting between
the enroute and terminal environments.
The area will be depicted on aeronautical charts to enable pilots
to circumnavigate the area in order to comply with applicable VFR
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 effect 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
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
