26972 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 94 / Friday, May 15, 1998 /Rules and Regulations

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 14 CFR part 71

establishes Class E airspace at Lakeview,

MI, to accommodate aircraft executing

the proposed VOR Rwy 09 SIAP at

Lakeview Airport-Griffith Field by

creating controlled airspace. Controlled

airspace extending upward from 700 to

1200 feet AGL is needed to contain

aircraft executing the approach. The

area would 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 Thursday, March 12, 1998, the

FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71

to modify Class E airspace at Portland,

IN (63 FR 12049). 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.

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments objecting to the proposal

Modification of Class E Airspace;

Milwaukee, WI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E

airspace at Milwaukee, WI. A VHF

Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Standard

Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP)

to Runway (Rwy) 32, has been

developed for John H. Batten Field.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 to 1200 feet above ground

level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft

executing the approach. In addition, a

review of the Class E airspace at

Milwaukee, WI, determined a

modification was required to

accommodate rising terrain for diverse

departures at General Mitchell

International Airport, Waukesha County

Airport, and Lawrence J. Timmerman

Airport. This action increases the radii

of the existing controlled airspace for

these airports.

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

listed in this document will be

published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

The amendment to 14 CFR part 71

modifies Class E airspace at Milwaukee,

WI, to accommodate aircraft executing

the proposed VOR Rwy 32 SIAP, at John

H. Batten Field by increasing the radius

of the existing controlled airspace.

Controlled airspace extending upward

contain aircraft executing the approach.

In addition, the radii of the controlled

airspace for General Mitchell

International Airport, Waukesha County

Airport, and Lawrence J. Timmerman

Airport will be increased because of an

airspace review conducted for these

airports. The areas 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
