DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 94-AGL-15]

 

Modification of Class D Airspace; Oscoda, MI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action revokes Class D airspace for Oscoda, MI. Oscoda 
Wurtsmith Airport does not have an operating control tower, therefore, 
the Oscoda, MI controlled airspace designation was appropriately 
corrected to Class E2 in a previous docket action, and the reference to 
Class D is not required. The intended affect of this action is to 
provide the accurate description of controlled airspace for Oscoda, MI.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, October 13, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert J. Woodford, Air Traffic 
Division, System Management Branch, AGL-530, Federal Aviation 
Administration, 2300 East Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois 60018, 
telephone (708) 294-7568.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On May 24, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revoke Class D airspace at 
Oscoda, Michigan (59 FR 26766). Oscoda Wurtsmith Airport does not have 
an operating control tower, therefore, the Oscoda, MI controlled 
airspace designation was appropriately corrected to Class E2 in a 
previous docket action, and the reference to Class D is not required. 
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.
    The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. Class D airspace designations 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 
revokes Class D airspace at Oscoda, Michigan. Oscoda Wurtsmith Airport 
does not have an operating control tower, therefore, the Oscoda, MI 
controlled airspace designation was appropriately corrected to Class E2 
in a previous docket action, and the reference to Class D is not 
required.
    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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
