DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 93-ASW-50]

 

Modification of Class E Airspace: Dallas/Fort Worth, TX

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class E airspace at Dallas/Fort 
Worth, TX. An amendment to the very high frequency omnidirectional 
range/distance measuring equipment (VOR/DME) standard instrument 
approach procedure (SIAP) at Cleburne Municipal Airport, Cleburne, TX, 
has necessitated this action. Controlled airspace extending upward from 
700 feet above ground level designated in conjunction with an airport 
for which an approved instrument approach procedure has been prescribed 
is needed to control aircraft executing the SIAP's. This action is 
intended to provide adequate Class E airspace for IFR operations at 
Cleburne, TX.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 18, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alvin DeVane, System Management 
Branch, Air Traffic Division, Southwest Region, Department of 
Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, Fort Worth, TX 76193-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On December 1, 1993, a proposal to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify the Class E airspace at 
Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, was published in the Federal Register (58 FR 
63309).
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments were received. Except for latitude/longitude position 
updates for Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport; McKinney Municipal 
Airport; Mesquite, Phil Hudson Municipal Airport; Mesquite radio beacon 
(RBN); Lancaster RBN; Fort Worth Spinks Airport; Weatherford, Parker 
Country Airport; Bridgeport Municipal Airport; and Decatur Municipal 
Airport, 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 E airspace designations for airspace areas 
extending upward from 700 feet or more above ground level are published 
in Paragraph 6005 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, 1994). The Class E 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 
revises the Class E airspace located at Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, to 
provide for adequate Class E airspace for aircraft executing the SIAP's 
at Cleburne, TX.
    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.
