DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 94-ANM-11]

 

Amendment of Class D Airspace; Grand Junction, CO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends the Grand Junction, Colorado, Class D 
airspace from full-time to part-time. It will correct that part of the 
airspace description which was inadvertently omitted during the 
airspace reclassification process. Airspace reclassification, in effect 
as of September 16, 1993, has discontinued the use of the term 
``airport traffic area'' and ``control zones'' with operating control 
towers, replacing them with the designation ``Class D airspace.'' This 
amendment brings publications up-to-date giving continuous information 
to the aviation public.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, June 30, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On March 16, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending the Grand Junction, 
Colorado Class D airspace designation (59 FR 12208). Interested parties 
were invited to participate in the rulemaking proceeding by submitting 
written comments on the proposal. No comments were received.
    During the airspace reclassification process (57 FR 38962, August 
27, 1992) the language designating the Grand Junction, Colorado Class D 
airspace as part-time was inadvertently omitted. This action corrects 
that omission. Airspace reclassification, in effect as of September 16, 
1993, has discontinued use of the terms ``airport traffic area'' and 
``control zone'' with operating control towers, and replaced them with 
the designation ``Class D airspace.'' Class D airspace is 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 Federal Aviation Regulations amends 
Class D airspace at Grand Junction, Colorado. The coordinates in this 
final rule are in North American Datum 83.
    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.
