Amendment of Class E Airspace; Britton, SD

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This amendment modifies Class E airspace at Britton, SD. A 
nondirectional radio bacon (NBD) or Global Positioning System (GPS) 
standard instrument approach procedure (SIAP) to Runway 13 has been 
revised for the Britton Municipal Airport. The intended effect of this 
action is to provide controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above ground level (AGL) and 1200 feet AGL for aircraft executing the 
approach.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, April 25, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On October 30, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation regulations (14 CFR part 71) by modifying the Class E 
airspace area at Britton, SD (60 FR 55226). The proposal was to add 
controlled airspace to accommodate the revised NDB or GPS 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. Class E airspace 
designations for areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the 
surface of the earth, are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 
7400.9C dated August 17, 1995, and effective September 16, 1995, 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

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) amends Class E airspace at Britton, SD, by providing 
additional controlled airspace for aircraft executing the NBD or GPS 
Runway 13 SIAP at Britton Municipal Airport. Controlled airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet AGL and 1200 feet AGL is needed for 
aircraft executing the approach. The area will be depicted on 
appropriate aeronautical charts thereby enabling pilots to 
circumnavigate the area or otherwise comply with IFR procedures.
    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.
