14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 98–AGL–20]

Modification of Class E Airspace;

Marion, OH

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E

airspace at Marion, OH. A Global

Positioning System (GPS) Standard

Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP)

to Runway (Rwy) 24, has been

developed for Marion Municipal

Airport. Controlled airspace extending

upward from 700 to 1200 feet above

ground level (AGL) is needed to contain

aircraft executing the approach. This

action increases the radius of the

existing controlled airspace for Marion

Municipal Airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 13,

1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On Monday, March 23, 1998, the FAA

proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 to

modify Class E airspace at Marion, OH

(63 FR 13809). 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

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

modifies Class E airspace at Marion,

OH, to accommodate aircraft executing

the proposed GPS Rwy 24 SIAP, at

Marion Municipal Airport by increasing

the radius of the existing controlled

airspace at 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR part 71

Airspace, Incorporation by reference,

Navigation (air).

14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 98–AGL–21]

Establishment of Class E Airspace;

Minot, ND

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class

E airspace at Minot, ND. Minot

International Airport is served by

Federal Aviation Regulations Part 121

and Part 135 (14 CFR Part 121 and Part

135) air carrier operations. Controlled

airspace extending upward from the

surface is needed to contain aircraft

executing instrument flight procedures

and provide a safer operating

environment when the control tower is

closed. The airport meets the minimum

communications and weather

observation and reporting requirements

for controlled airspace extending

upward from the surface. This action

creates controlled airspace with a 4.2-

mile radius for this airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 13,

1998.
