Minocqua-Woodruff, WI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action removes Class E

airspace at Minocqua-Woodruff, WI.

This airspace surface area is being

removed because the weather

observation requirements for a

controlled airspace surface area are no

longer being met for the Lakeland/Noble

F. Lee Memorial Field. The intended

effect of this action is to provide an

accurate description of the controlled

airspace for Minocqua-Woodruff, WI.

EFFECTIVE DATES: 0901 UTC, January

1,1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On Monday, August 25, 1997, the

FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) to remove the Class F airspace

at Minocqua-Woodruff, WI (62 FR

44923). The proposal was to remove

controlled airspace extending upward

from the surface for Lakeland/Noble F.

Lee Memorial Field.

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

designated as a surface area for a airport

are published in paragraph 6002 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 removed subsequently from the

Order.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) removes Class E airspace at

Minocqua-Woodruff, WI, because the

weather observation requirements for a

controlled airspace surface area are no

longer being met for Lakeland/Noble F.

Lee Memorial Field. The area will be

removed from the 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; 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.
