DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 93-ASW-59]

 

Modification of Class D Airspace: Roswell, NM, and Establishment 
of Class E Airspace Extension to Class D Surface Area: Roswell, NM

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class D airspace and establishes a 
Class E extension to the Class D surface area at Roswell, NM. This 
action amends a previous airspace action that established a 14.8 NM 
Class D airspace extension to the Class D surface area for Roswell, NM. 
Because the arrival extension is greater than two miles, it should have 
been classified as Class E airspace. However, it was incorrectly 
classified as Class D airspace. The intended effect of this action is 
to reclassify the Class D airspace extension at Roswell, NM, to a Class 
E airspace extension to contain instrument approach procedures and to 
provide adequate Class D airspace to contain IFR operations and require 
two-way radio communications at Roswell Industrial Air Center.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 U.T.C., April 28, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On January 14, 1994, a proposal to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify the Class D airspace 
and to establish a Class E extension to the Class D surface area at 
Roswell, NM, was published in the Federal Register (59 FR 2316).
    Interested persons 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. Except for 
editorial changes, this amendment is the same as that proposed in the 
notice.
    The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. Class D airspace designations are published in 
paragraph 5000 and Class E airspace areas designated as an extension to 
a Class D surface area are published in Paragraph 6004 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 and Class E airspace designations listed in this document 
will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
modifies the Class D Airspace and establishes a Class E extension to 
the Class D surface area at Roswell, NM.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations that need frequent and 
routine amendments 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
