14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 98–AGL–16]

Modification of Class E Airspace;

Traverse City, MI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E

airspace at Traverse City, MI. A Global

Positioning System (GPS) Standard

Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP)

to Runway (Rwy) 36, has been

developed for Cherry Capital Airport.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 to 1200 feet above ground

level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft

executing the approach. This action

enlarges the extension to the south for

the existing controlled airspace for

Cherry Capital 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 Traverse City,

MI (63 FR 13808). 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

The amendment to 14 CFR part 71

modifies Class E airspace at Traverse

City, MI, to accommodate aircraft

executing the proposed GPS Rwy 36

SIAP at Chery Capital Airport by

enlarging the southern extension to 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.
