14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 99-AGL-22]


Modification of Class E Airspace; Juneau, WI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This notice modifies Class E airspace at Juneau, WI. A Global 
Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) 
to Runway (Rwy) 20 has been developed for Dodge County Airport. 
Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet above ground 
level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft executing the approach. This 
action increases the radius of the existing controlled airspace for 
this airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, September 9, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michelle M. Behm, Air Traffic 
Division, Airspace Branch, AGL-520, Federal Aviation Administration, 
2300 East Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois 60018, telephone (847) 
294-7568.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On Thursday, April 8, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR 71 to 
modify Class E airspace at Juneau, WI (64 FR 17133). The proposal was 
to add controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to 1,200 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. One comment strongly 
supporting the proposal was received from the Wisconsin Department of 
Transportation. Class E airspace designations for airspace areas 
extending upward form 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth 
are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9F dated September 
10, 1998, and effective September 16, 1998, 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 71 modifies Class E airspace at Juneau, 
WI, to accommodate aircraft executing the proposed GPS Rwy 20 SIAP at 
Dodge County Airport by modifying the existing controlled airspace. The 
area will 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 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.
