SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On Monday, March 23, 1998, the FAA

proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 to

modify Class E airspace at Madison, SD

(63 FR 13805). 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

participated 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 71

modifies Class E airspace at Madison,

SD, to accommodate aircraft executing

the proposed GPS Rwy 33 SIAP, and the

VOR/DME–A SIAP, at Madison

Municipal Airport by increasing the

radius of the existing controlled

airspace for the airport. The area 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

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.

[Airspace Docket No. 98–AGL–13]

Modification of Class E Airspace;

Rugby, ND

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E

airspace at Rugby, ND. A review of the

controlled airspace within the State of

North Dakota indicated a small portion

of Class G uncontrolled airspace in the

vicinity of Rugby, ND. Controlled

airspace extending upward from 1,200

feet above ground level (AGL) is needed

to allow the FAA to provide safe and

efficient air traffic control services for

aircraft executing enroute and terminal

instrument procedures. This small

portion of uncontrolled airspace causes

confusion for both pilots and controllers

and does not allow for consistent

application of instrument flight rules in

a critical area near the Rugby Municipal

Airport. This action eliminated the

small portion of uncontrolled airspace

approximately 11 nautical miles to the

southeast of Rugby, ND.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 13,

1998.
