SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On Wednesday, December 10, 1997, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR 
part 71 to establish Class E airspace at Friendship (Adams), WI (62 FR 
65041). The proposal was to add controlled airspace extending upward 
from 700 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 receive. 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 7400.9E dated September 10, 1997, and effective September 16, 
1997, 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 14 CFR part 71 establishes Class E airspace at 
friendship (Adams), WI. This action provides adequate controlled 
airspace extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet AGL to contain aircraft 
executing the GPS Rwy 33 SIAP and IFR operations at Adams County Legion 
Field Airport. The area would be depicted on appropriate aeronautical 
charts.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are

[[Page 7284]]

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.
