14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 98–AGL–15]

Establishment of Class E Airspace;

Watford City, ND, and modification of

Class E Airspace, Williston, ND

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class

E airspace at Watford City, ND, and

modifies Class E airspace at Williston,

ND. A Global Positioning System (GPS)

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (Rwy) 30

has been developed for Watford City

Municipal Airport. Controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet

above ground level (AGL), and

controlled airspace extending upward

from 1200 AGL, is needed to contain

aircraft executing the approach. This

action creates controlled airspace with a

radius of 7.4 miles for the Watford City

Airport, and enlarges the controlled

airspace at Williston, ND, to the

southeast to accommodate the approach.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 13,

1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On Thursday, March 12, 1998, the

FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71

to establish Class E airspace at Watford

City, ND and modify Class E airspace at

Williston, ND (63 FR 12055). The

proposal was to add controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet

AGL and upward from 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 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 Watford

City, ND, and to modifies Class E

airspace at Williston, ND, to

accommodate aircraft executing the

proposed GPS Rwy 30 SIAP at Watford

City Municipal Airport by creating

controlled airspace at the airport and

modifying controlled airspace nearby

the airport. Controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet

AGL, and controlled airspace extending

upward from 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.
