ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Chamberlain, SD. A 
Global Positioning System (GPS) standard instrument approach procedure 
(SIAP) to Runway 31 has been developed for the Chamberlain Municipal 
Airport. 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 controlled airspace 
for aircraft executing the GPS SIAP.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, March 30, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On November 18, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E 
airspace at Chamberlain, SD (59 FR 59665). 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 7400.9B dated July 18, 1994, and effective 
September 16, 1994, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. 
The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will be 
published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    The amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
establishes Class E airspace to Chamberlain, SD, to establish 
controlled airspace from 700 feet to 1200 feet AGL for aircraft 
executing the GPS Runway 31 SIAP at the Chamberlain Municipal Airport. 
Controlled airspace extending from 700 to 1200 feet AGL is needed for 
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 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.
