          - [Docket No. FAA-2007-28778; Airspace Docket No. 07-AGL-6] 

# AGENCY:

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

# ACTION:

Final rule. 

# SUMMARY:

This rule establishes a Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Prairie Du Sac, WI. The effect of this rule is to provide appropriate controlled Class E airspace for aircraft departing from and executing instrument approach procedures to Sauk-Prairie Airport, Prairie du Sac, WI and to segregate aircraft using instrument approach procedures in instrument conditions from aircraft operating in visual conditions.

# DATES:

*Effective Date:*                         0901 UTC, February 14, 2008. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments.

## History

                    On Friday, September 7, 2007, the FAA published in the                     **Federal Register**                     (72 FR 51391) a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to amend Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing class E airspace at Prairie Du Sac, WI. 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.                

## The Rule

This rule amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing a Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Sauk-Prairie Airport, Prairie du Sac, WI. The establishment of Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP) have made this action necessary. The intended effect of this action is to provide adequate controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rules operations at Sauk-Prairie Airport, Prairie Du Sac, WI. The area will be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts.

Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9R, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, signed August 15, 2007, and effective September 15, 2007, 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 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.

This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charge with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority since it contains aircraft executing instrument approach procedures to Saul-Prairie Airport, Prairie Du Sac, WI.
