SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On July 27, 2009, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to amend Class E 

airspace at Platteville, WI, adding 

additional controlled airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface, 

at Platteville Municipal Airport, 

Platteville, WI. (74 FR 36971, Docket 

No. FAA–2009–0512). Interested parties 

were invited to participate in this 

rulemaking effort by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

No comments were received. Class E 

airspace designations are published in 

paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9T, 

signed August 27, 2009, and effective 

September 15, 2009, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

Part 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

adding additional Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Platteville Municipal 

Airport, Platteville, WI, for the safety 

and management of IFR operations at 

the airport. This action also reflects the 

name change of the airport from Grant 

County Airport and updates the 

geographic coordinates to coincide with 

the FAAs National Aeronautical 

Charting Office. 

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, when 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

Section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the agency’s 

authority. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it adds 

additional controlled airspace at 

Platteville Municipal Airport, 

Platteville, WI.
