Proposed Modification of Class D

Airspace; Minot AFB, ND; and Class E

Airspace; Minot, ND

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This notice proposes to

modify Class D airspace at Minot Air

Force Base (AFB), ND, and Class E

airspace at Minot, ND. A review of the

Instrument Landing System (ILS) 1 or

Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN)

Runway 29 Standard Instrument

Approach Procedure (SIAP), the

Instrument Landing System/Distance

Measuring Equipment (ILS/DME) 2

Runway 29 SIAP, the ILS/DME Runway

11 SIAP, and the TACAN Runway 11

SIAP for Minot AFB necessitates these

modifications. Controlled airspace

extending upward from the surface,

controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet above ground level (AGL),

and controlled airspace extending

upward from 1,200 feet AGL is needed

to contain aircraft executing these

approaches. This proposal would

increase the radius and remove the

extensions to the Class D airspace for

Minot AFB, ND, and would increase the

radius and add a northwest extension to

that portion of the Minot, ND, Class E

airspace associated with Minot AFB,

ND.

procedure.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to modify

Class D airspace at Minot AFB, ND, and

Class E airspace at Minot, ND. A recent

joint FAA/Air Force review of the

controlled airspace for Minot AFB

revealed a need to reinstate controlled

airspace inadvertently dropped during

the 1993 United States airspace

reclassification. This action was

completed by Final Rule on November

5, 1997 (97–AGL–59, 62 FR 59783).

Further review of the current instrument

approach procedures for Minot AFB,

including the ILS 1 or TACAN Runway

29 SIAP, the ILS/DME 2 Runway 29

SIAP, the ILS/DME Runway 11 SIAP,

and the TACAN Runway 11 SIAP, has

indicated a need to modify the existing

controlled airspace by increasing the

radius and removing the extensions to

the Class D airspace for Minot AFB, ND,

and increasing the radius and adding a

northwest extension to that portion of

the Minot, ND, Class E airspace

associated with Minot AFB, ND.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from the surface, controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet AGL,

and controlled airspace extending

upward from 1,200 feet AGL is needed

to contain aircraft executing these

approaches. The areas would be

depicted on appropriate aeronautical

charts. Class D airspace designations are

published in paragraph 5000, and 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 D and 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

established 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 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 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 Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to

establish Class E airspace at

Cooperstown, ND, to accommodate

aircraft executing the GPS Runway 13

and GPS Runway 31 SIAPs at

Cooperstown Municipal Airport.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 to 1200 feet AGL within a 6.3-

mile radius of Cooperstown Municipal

Airport, and controlled airspace

extending upward from 1,200 feet AGL

in three previously uncontrolled Class G

airspace areas is needed to contain

aircraft executing the instrument flight

rules arrival routing from the northwest

and southeast and the proposed

approaches. This proposal would create

Class E airspace at Cooperstown

Municipal Airport and in three Class G

airspace areas: the entire existing Class

G airspace area above Cooperstown, ND;

the entire existing Class G airspace area

approximately halfway between

Cooperstown, ND, and Devils Lake, ND,

and which overlies Johnson Lake

National Wildlife Refuge, ND; and that

portion of the existing Class G airspace

area between Cooperstown, ND, and

Valley City, ND, which lies west of

longitude 97°49′30′′W. The areas would

be depicted on appropriate aeronautical

charts. Class E airspace designations

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

would be published subsequently in the

Order.

The FAA has determined that this

proposed regulation only involves an

established body of technical
