DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 95-AGL-5]


Modification of Class E Airspace; Devils Lake, ND

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class E5 airspace near Devils Lake, 
ND. Based on the results of an airspace review the existing geographic 
size of the E5 airspace area was found to be insufficient to 
accommodate existing instrument approach procedures to Devils Lake 
Municipal Airport, Devils Lake, ND. 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. The area will be depicted on aeronautical 
charts to provide a reference for pilots operating in Visual Flight 
Rule (VFR) conditions.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, November 9, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On June 9, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify the Class E5 airspace 
near Devils Lake, ND (60 FR 30479).
    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. Class E airspace 
designations for airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more 
above the surface of the earth 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 CFR 71.1. 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 (14 
CFR part 71) modifies the Class E airspace area near Devils Lake, ND. 
Based on the results of an airspace review the geographic size of the 
E5 airspace area was found to be insufficient to accommodate existing 
instrument approach procedures to Devils Lake Municipal Airport, Devils 
Lake, ND. 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. 
The area will be depicted on aeronautical charts to provide a reference 
for pilots operating in VFR conditions.
    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. 
Therefore, this regulation--(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.
