## Abstract

This action establishes Class E airspace at St. Paul, MN. An airspace review for St. Paul, Downtown Holman Field, MN, indicated the need for surface area controlled airspace during periods when the control tower is closed. The surface area provides a safer operating environment for business/corporate turbo jet and turbo prop aircraft which operate into and out of the airport when the control tower is closed. The airport meets the minimum communications and weather observation and reporting requirements. Controlled airspace extending upward from the surface will contain aircraft executing instrument approach procedures.
