[Airspace Docket No. 96–AGL–31]

Establishment of Class E Airspace;

Oakes, ND, Oakes Municipal Airport

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class

E airspace at Oakes, ND. A Global

Positioning System (GPS) standard

instrument approach procedure (SIAP)

to Runway 30 has been developed for

Oakes 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.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, May 22,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On Wednesday, January 8, 1997, the

FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) to establish Class E airspace at

Oakes, ND (62 FR 1068). 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

Oakes, ND to accommodate aircraft

executing the GPS Runway 30 SIAP at

Oakes 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 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.
