Docket ID: [Docket No. FAA-2004-17136; Airspace Docket No. 04-AGL-08]
NOTICE: PROPOSED RULES
ACTION: Airworthiness directives:
DOCUMENT ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
SUBJECT CATEGORY:
Proposed Modification of Class D Airspace; Camp Douglas, WI
DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 21, 2004.
DOCUMENT SUMMARY:
This document proposes to modify Class D airspace at Camp Douglas, WI. Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) Category E circling procedures are being used at Volk Field, WI. Increasing the current radius of the Class D airspace area will allow for a lower Circling Minimum Descent Altitude. Controlled airspace extending upward from the surface of the earth is needed to contain aircraft executing these approach procedures. This action would increase the area of the existing controlled airspace for Volk Field, Camp Douglas, WI.
SUMMARY:
Class D airspace,

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to modify Class D airspace at Camp Douglas, WI, for Volk Field. Controlled airspace extending upward from the surface of the earth is needed to contain aircraft executing instrument approach procedures. The area would be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts. Class D airspace areas extending upward from the surface of the earth are published in paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9L dated September 2, 2003, and effective September 16, 2003, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E designations listed in this document would be published subsequently in the order.
The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves an establishment body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore this, proposed 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 proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
