developed for Sauk Centre Municipal

Airport. Controlled airspace extending

upward from 700 to 1200 feet above

ground level (AGL) is needed to contain

aircraft executing the approach. The

intended effect of this action is to

provide segregation of aircraft using

instrument approach procedures in

instrument conditions from other

aircraft operating in visual weather

conditions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On Friday, July 25, 1997, the FAA

proposed to amend part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) to establish Class E airspace at

Sauk Centre, MN (62 FR 39979). 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 transmitting

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 7400.9E, dated September 10,

1997, and effective September 16, 1997,

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 part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) establishes Class E airspace at

Sauk Centre, MN, to accommodate

aircraft executing the GPS RWY 32 SIAP

at Sauk Centre Municipal Airport.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 to 1200 feet AGL is needed to

contain aircraft executing the approach.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On June 24, 1997, a proposal to

amend Part 71 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) to revise

the Class E airspace at Kutztown, PA,

was published in the Federal Register

(62 FR 34026). A GPS SIAP to RWY 17

developed for Kutztown Airport,

Kutztown, PA, requires the revision of

the Class E airspace at the airport. The

proposal would revise the controlled

airspace extending upward from 700

feet AGL to contain IFR operations in

controlled airspace during portions of

the terminal operation and while

transitioning 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 to the proposal were

received. The rule is adopted as

proposed.
