14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 94-AGL-35]


Establishment of Class E Airspace; Green Bay, WI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Austin Straubel 
International Airport, Green Bay, WI. Presently, the area is designated 
as Class C airspace when the associated control tower is in operation. 
However, controlled airspace to the surface is needed when the control 
tower located at this airport is closed. The intended effect of this 
action is to provide adequate Class E airspace for instrument flight 
rule (IFR) operations when this control tower is closed.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, May 25, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On December 12, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E 
airspace at Green Bay, WI, (59 FR 63939). 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 coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. Class E airspace designations are published in 
Paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9B dated July 18, 1994, and effective 
September 16, 1994, 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 part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
establishes Class E airspace at Austin Straubel International Airport, 
Green Bay, WI. Presently, the area is designated as a Class C airspace 
when the associated control tower is in operation. However, controlled 
airspace to the surface is needed when the control tower located at 
this airport is closed. The intended effect of this action is to 
provide adequate Class E airspace for instrument flight rule (IFR) 
operations when this control tower is closed.
    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. 
It, therefore--(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 effect 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.
