7348 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 33 / Wednesday, February 19, 1997 / Rules and Regulations

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 to 1200 feet above ground

level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft

executing the approach. The intended

affect 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, November 29, 1996, the

FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) to establish Class E airspace at

New Lisbon (61 FR 60655). 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 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 areas extending upward

from 700 feet or more above the surface

of the earth are published in paragraph

6005 of FAA Order 7400.9D dated

September 4, 1996, and effective

September 16, 1996, 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

New Lisbon, WI to accommodate

aircraft executing the GPS Runway 32

SIAP at Mauston-New Lisbon Union

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 thereby

enabling pilots to circumnavigate the

area or otherwise comply with IFR

procedures.

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.

Amendment to Time of Designation for

Restricted Area R–4305, Lake Superior,

MN

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This rule amends the time of

designation for Restricted Area 4305 (R–

4305), Lake Superior, MN, by reducing

the requirement for the issuance of a

Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) from 12

hours in advance to 4 hours in advance

of activation of the airspace. The U.S.

Air Force requested this amendment to

permit greater flexibility in scheduling

R–4305.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, May 22,

1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On November 5, 1996, the FAA

proposed to amend Title 14 of the Code

of Federal Regulations part 73 (14 CFR

part 73) to amend the time of

designation for R–4305 from the current

‘‘Intermittent by NOTAM, 12 hours in

advance,’’ to ‘‘Intermittent by NOTAM,

2 hours in advance.’’ (61 FR 56927).

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. However, the FAA

determined that 2 hours advance notice

did not allow enough time for the

NOTAM to be processed and still have

adequate lead time for airspace users to

become aware of the activation prior to

their flights. Therefore, the time of

designation will now read: ‘‘Intermittent

by NOTAM, 4 hours in advance.’’ The

FAA’s Great Lakes Region coordinated

this change with the regional U.S. Air

Force representative and, on January 27,

1997, the U.S. Air Force formally

accepted the modification to their

proposal. Except for editorial changes

and the time of designation change from

‘‘Intermittent by NOTAM, 2 hours in

advance’’ to ‘‘Intermittent by NOTAM, 4

hours in advance,’’ this amendment is

the same as that proposed in the notice.

Section 73.43 of part 73 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations was republished

in FAA Order 7400.8D dated July 11,

1996.

The Rule

This amendment to part 73 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 73) amends the time of designation

for R–4305 from the current

‘‘Intermittent by NOTAM, 12 hours in

advance,’’ to ‘‘Intermittent by NOTAM,

4 hours in advance.’’ The current 12-

hour in advance NOTAM requirement

does not permit the using agency

sufficient flexibility to efficiently

accomplish its mission in the event of

maintenance or weather delays, or other

operational factors. This action will not

alter the existing boundaries, altitudes,

or designated purpose of R–4305.

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. It, therefore—(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.

Environmental Review

This action will not affect the existing

boundaries, altitudes, or activities

conducted in R–4305. There will be no

change from current operations and no

new air traffic procedures will be

necessary as a result of this rule.

Therefore, the FAA has determined that

this action is not subject to

environmental assessments and

procedures in accordance with FAA

Order 1050.1D, ‘‘Policies and

Procedures for Considering

Environmental Impacts.’’
