14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 98-AGL-75]
Modification of Class E Airspace; Fremont, OH
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace at Fremont, OH. A Global
Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP)
to Runway (Rwy) 06, and a GPS SIAP to Rwy 24, have been developed for
Sandusky County Regional Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward
from 700 to 1200 feet above ground level (AGL) is needed to contain
aircraft executing the approaches. This action modifies existing
controlled airspace for Fremont, OH, by expanding the airspace to the
southeast to accommodate the instrument flight procedures at the
Sandusky County Regional Airport. This is an unrelated airspace action
to the airspace action in docket number 98-AGL-56, Modification of
Class E Airspace, Fremont, OH, (64 FR 4782, February 1, 1999) and
incorporates the changes specified in that document.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, May 20, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Friday, February 12, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part
71 to modify Class E airspace at Fremont, OH (64 FR 7143). 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
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
7400.9F dated September 10, 1998, and effective September 16, 1998,
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 14 CFR part 71 modifies Class E airspace at
Fremont, OH, to accommodate aircraft executing the proposed GPS Rwy 06
SIAP, and GPS Rwy 24 SIAP, at Sandusky County Regional Airport by
expanding the existing controlled airspace to the southeast for 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.
