south of the Drake Field: RWY 34–LOC;
and adding an extension 1 mile each
side of the 347° bearing from the airport
from the 4-mile radius to 4.9 miles north
the airport. The city associated with the
airport is removed from the airspace
legal description to comply with a
change to FAA Order 7400.2L,
Procedures for Handling Airspace
Matters, and the outdated term
‘‘Airport/Facility Directory’’ is updated
to ‘‘Chart Supplement.’’ Additionally,
the geographic coordinates of the airport
are updated to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database.
Amending the Class E airspace
designated as a surface area at Drake
Field to within a 4-mile radius
(decreased from a 4.1-mile radius); and
extending the airspace up to and
including 3,800 feet MSL; and adding
an extension 1.1 miles each side of the
181° bearing from the airport from the
4-mile radius to 5.9 miles south of the
airport, and adding an extension 1 mile
each side of the 172° bearing from the
Drake Field: RWY 34–LOC from the 4mile radius to 4.9 miles south of the
Drake Field: RWY 34–LOC; and adding
an extension 1 mile each side of the
347° bearing from the airport from the
4-mile radius to 4.9 miles north of the
airport. The city associated with the
airport is removed from the airspace
legal description to comply with a
change to FAA Order 7400.2L, and the
outdated term ‘‘Airport/Facility
Directory’’ is updated to ‘‘Chart
Supplement.’’ Additionally, the
geographic coordinates of the airport are
updated to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database.
And removing the Class E airspace
designated as an extension to Class D
and Class E at Drake Field as it is no
longer required.
The typographical error in the
airspace legal description for the Class
D airspace and Class E airspace
designated as a surface area in the
extension from the Drake Field: RWY
34–LOC changing ‘‘sided’’ to ‘‘side’’ is
corrected in this rule. Except for this
change, this rule is the same as
published in the NPRM.
This action as the result of an airspace
review caused by the decommissioning
of the Drake VOR, which provided
navigation information for the
instrument procedures at this airport, as
part of the VOR MON Program.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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, is non-controversial and

unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. 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 only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when
promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

the surface at Lac Qui Parle County
Airport (formerly Madison-Lac Qui
Parle Airport), Madison, MN, to
accommodate new standard instrument
approach procedures for instrument
flight rules (IFR) operations at the

regarding aviation safety is found in
Title 49 of the United States Code.

describes in more detail the scope of the
agency’s authority. This rulemaking is
promulgated under the authority
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:14 Dec 07, 2018
Jkt 247001
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 would
amend controlled airspace in Class E
airspace, at Lac Qui Parle County
Airport, Madison, MN, to support
instrument flight rules (IFR) operations
at the airport.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (83 FR 44248; August 30, 2018)
for Docket No. FAA–2018–0194 to
amend Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
at Lac Qui Parle County Airport,
Madison, MN. 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 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018,
and effective September 15, 2018, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designations
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.

7400.11C lists Class A, B, C, D, and E
airspace areas, air traffic service routes,

The Rule
This amendment to Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
modifies Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
within a 6.4-mile radius (increased from
a 6.3-mile radius) at Lac Qui Parle
County Airport, Madison, MN. The
segment 7.4 miles southeast of the
airport will be removed due to the
decommissioning of the Madison NDB
and cancellation of the associated
approach. This action enhances the
safety and management of the standard
instrument approach procedures for IFR
operations at the airport.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. 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 only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.
