DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 94-AGL-3]

 

Modification of Class E Airspace; Warroad, MN

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace at Warroad 
International-Swede Carlson Field, Warroad, MN, to accommodate an 
Instrument Landing System (ILS) Runway 31, and Nondirectional Beacon 
(NDB) Runway 31 Standard Instrument Approach (SIAP). 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 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 u.t.c., 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 Tuesday, March 29, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of 
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify Class E 
airspace at Warroad International-Swede Carlson Field, Warroad, MN (59 
FR 14574). The proposal was to modify Class E airspace to accommodate 
Instrument Landing System (ILS) Runway 31, and Nondirectional Beacon 
(NDB) Runway 31 Standard Instrument Approach (SIAP). 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 to 
modify Class E airspace at Warroad International-Swede Carlson Field, 
Warroad, MN, to accommodate Instrument Landing System (ILS) Runway 31, 
and Nondirectional Beacon (NDB) Runway 31 Standard Instrument Approach 
(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.
