The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to modify

Class E airspace at Menomonie, WI, to

accommodate aircraft executing the

proposed GPS Rwy 27 SIAP at

Menomonie Municipal-Score Field

Airport by increasing the radius of the

existing controlled airspace for the

airport. 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.

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 would be published

subsequently in the Order.

The FAA has determined that this

proposed regulation only involves an

established body of technical

regulations for which frequent and

routine amendments are necessary to

keep them operationally current.

Therefore this, proposed 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 proposed rule will

not have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

Proposed Alteration of Federal

Colorado

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.

SUMMARY: This action withdraws the

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)

published in the Federal Register on

August 2, 1995. The NPRM proposed to

realign three Federal airways located in

Colorado (CO), when the Byers, CO,

Very High Frequency Omnidirectional

Range/Distance measuring Equipment

(VOR/DME) became operational as part

of the new Denver Airport airspace

realignment. The FAA has determined

that withdrawal of the proposal is

warranted due to an in-flight

aeronautical evaluation (flight check)

which revealed that the proposed

airways would not meet FAA designed

criteria.

DATES: The withdrawal is effective July

24, 1998.
