Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 125 / Wednesday, June 28, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 39791

County-Blaine Airport is served by

Federal Aviation Regulations Part 135

(14 CFR Part 135) air carrier operations.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from the surface is needed to contain

aircraft executing instrument flight

procedures and provide a safer

operating environment when the control

tower is closed. The airport meets the

minimum communications and weather

observation and reporting requirements

for controlled airspace extending

upward from the surface. This action

creates controlled airspace with a 3.9-

mile radius for this airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, October 5,

2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On Wednesday, April 12, 2000, the

FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71

to establish Class E airspace at

Minneapolis, Anoka County-Blaine

Airport, MN (65 FR 19701). The

proposal was to add controlled airspace

extending upward from the surface is

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 the surface of

the earth are published in paragraph

6002 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

establishes Class E airspace at

Minneapolis, Anoka County-Blaine

Airport, MN, to accommodate and Part

135 air carrier aircraft executing

instrument flight rules procedure during

periods when the control tower is

closed. 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

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Modification of Class E Airspace;

Marquette, MI; Revocation of Class E

Airspace; Sawyer, MI, and K.I. Sawyer,

MI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: On December 3, 1999, the

FAA published a final rule modifying

Class E airspace at Marquette, MI, and

revoking the Class E airspace at Sawyer,

MI, and K.I. Sawyer, MI. An integral

part of this airspace action is the

decommissioning of the Marquette

(MQT), MI, VHF Omnidirectional

Range/Distance Measuring Equipment

(VOR/DME) and commissioning of the

new Gwinn (GWI), MI, VOR/DME. On

February 2, 2000, the effective date of

this final rule was delayed until further

notice due to the delay in the

commissioning, due to construction, of

the new Gwinn VOR/DME. On May 2,

2000, the effective date of this final rule

was established as August 10, 2000,

concurrent with the commissioning of

the GWI VOR/DME. Subsequent to May

2, 2000, the decision was made to

change the name of the GWI VOR/DME

to the Sawyer (SAW) VOR/DME. This

action makes that name correction.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 10,

2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

December 3, 1999, the FAA published a

final rule modifying Class E airspace at

marquette, MI, and revoking the Class E

airspace at Sawyer, MI, and K.I. Sawyer,

MI (64 FR 67713). Due to a delay in

construction, and subsequent

commissioning, of the new Gwinn, MI,

VOR/DME this airspace action could not

be implemented on the original effective

date. Accordingly, the effective date of

the modification of the Class airspace at

Marquette, MI, and the revocation of the

Class E airspace at Sawyer, MI, and K.I.

Sawyer, MI, was delayed until further

notice (65 FR 4871).

Subsequently, the new effective date

of the final rule modifying Class E

airspace at Marquette, MI, and revoking

the Class E airspace at Sawyer, MI, and

39792 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 125 / Wednesday, June 28, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

K.I. Sawyer, MI was established as

August 10, 2000 (65 FR 25440). After

establishing this new effective date, a

decision was made to change the name

of the GWI VOR/DME to the SAW VOR/

DME to more accurately reflect the

location of the navigational aid.

Accordingly, all references to the Gwinn

(GI), MI, VOR/DME are changed to the

Sawyer (SAW), MI, VOR/DME in the

final rule modifying Class E airspace at

Marquette, MI, and revoking the Class E

airspace at Sawyer, MI, and K.I. Sawyer,

MI (64 FR 67713).
