## Abstract

This action revises Class E airspace at Rock Rapids, IA. The Rock Rapids Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB) that served Rock Rapids Municipal Airport, Rock Rapids, IA has been decommissioned and standard instrument approach procedures (SIAPs) that utilized the NDB have been cancelled. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) that accommodated the NDB SIAPs is no longer needed. The intended effect of this rule is to provide appropriate controlled Class E airspace for aircraft operating under Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) at Rock Rapids, IA, delete the Rock Rapids NDB and coordinates from the legal description of Class E airspace at Rock Rapids, IA, and comply with the criteria of FAA Order 7400.2E.
