The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to modify

Class E airspace at Dickinson, ND, by

incorporating the correct airport

reference point for Dickinson Municipal

Airport into the controlled airspace

legal descriptions. Controlled airspace

extending upward from the surface of

the earth is needed to contain aircraft

executing instrument approach

procedures. The area would be depicted

on appropriate aeronautical charts.

Class E airspace areas designated as

surface areas are published in paragraph

6002 and Class E airspace areas

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface 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 designations

listed in this document would be

published subsequently in the Order.

The FAA has determined that this

proposed regulation only involves an

establishment body of technical

regulations for which frequent and

routine amendments are necessary to

keep them operationally current.

Therefore this, proposed regulation—(1)

Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

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

proposed rule will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities under the

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

The Proposed Amendment

Accordingly, pursuant to the

authority delegated to me, the Federal

Aviation Administration proposes to

amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This action proposes to

establish Class E airspace at Soldiers

Grove, WI. A Global Positioning System

(GPS) Standard Instrument Approach

Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (Rwy) 11,

and a GPS SIAP to Rwy 29, have been

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet or more above the surface

executing these approaches. This action

would create controlled airspace for

Leeward Farm Airport.
