14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 99-AGL-40]


Modification of Class A Airspace; Hayward, WI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace at Hayward, WI. A Global 
Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) 
to Runway (Rwy) 02, and a GPS SIAP to Rwy 20, have been developed for 
Sawyer County Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to 
1200 feet above ground level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft 
executing the approaches. This action increases the radius of the 
existing controlled airspace for this airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, December 30, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Denis C. Burke, 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 Tuesday, July 13, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 
711 to modify Class E airspace at Hayward, WI (64 FR 37716). 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 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 7400.9F 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 part 71 modifies Class E airspace at 
Hayward, WI, to accommodate aircraft executing the proposed GPS Rwy 02 
SIAP and the GPS Rwy 20 SIAP at Sawyer 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.
