Establishment of Class E Airspace; De Kalb, IL
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice establishes Class E airspace at De Kalb, IL. A
Localizer/Distance Measuring Equipment (LOC/DME) Standard Instrument
Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (Rwy) 2 has been developed for De
Kalb Taylor Municipal Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward
from 700 to 1,200 feet above ground level (AGL) is needed to contain
aircraft executing the approach. This action creates controlled
airspace for this airport.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, September 09, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Monday, April 5, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71
to establish Class E airspace at De Kalb, IL (64 FR 16371). The
proposal was to add controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to
1,200 feet AGL to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations in
controlled airspace during portions of the terminal operation and while
[[Page 33191]]
transiting between the enroute and terminal environments. 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. 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 establishes Class E airspace at De
Kalb, IL, to accommodate aircraft executing the proposed LOC/DME Rwy 2
SIAP at De Kalb Taylor Municipal Airport by modifying the existing
controlled airspace. 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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
