14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 99-AGL-43]
Modification of Class E Airspace; Madison, WI
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace at Madison, WI. A Global
Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP)
to Runway (Rwy) 21, and a VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) SIAP to Rwy
21, have been developed for Dane County Regional Airport-Truax Field.
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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Friday, July 23, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71
to modify Class E airspace at Madison, WI (64 FR 39949). 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.
One comment strongly supporting the proposal was received from the
Wisconsin Department of Transportation. 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
7400.9G dated September 1, 1999, and effective September 16, 1999,
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
Madison, WI, to accommodate aircraft executing the proposed GPS Rwy 21
SIAP and VOR Rwy 21 SIAP at Dane County Regional Airport-Truax Field 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.
