Modification of Class D Airspace; Seattle, WA

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This rule amends the Class D airspace for Seattle-Tacoma 
International Airport, Boeing Field Airport, and Renton Municipal 
Airport. These changes are necessary to reflect the actual airspace 
delegated to each airport traffic control tower and show this airspace 
on appropriate aeronautical charts for pilots' use.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, March 3, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On August 17, 1993, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend the Class D 
airspace for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Boeing Field 
Airport, and Renton Municipal Airport, Washington (58 FR 43573).
    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. This amendment is 
the same as that proposed in the notice, except some coordinates of the 
airspace descriptions have been changed slightly to delete a small 
amount of Class D airspace south of Boeing Field which was found to be 
unnecessary. The coordinates in the proposal were North American Datum 
27; however, these coordinates have been updated to North American 
Datum 83. Class D airspace areas are published in paragraph 5000 of FAA 
Order 7400.9A dated June 17, 1993, and effective September 16, 1993, 
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 (58 FR 36298; July 6, 
1993). The Class D airspace designation listed in this document will be 
published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
amends the Class D airspace for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, 
Boeing Field Airport, and Renton Municipal Airport, Washington. These 
changes are necessary to reflect the actual airspace delegated to each 
airport traffic control tower and to show this airspace on appropriate 
aeronautical charts for pilots' use.
    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. 
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 
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.
