DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 93-ASW-54]
Modification of Class D: Dallas Redbird Airport, TX
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class D airspace at Dallas Redbird
Airport, TX. Airspace reclassification, effective September 16, 1994,
omitted a portion of the previous airport traffic area. After airspace
reclassification the term ``airport traffic area'' was replaced with
the designation ``Class D airspace.'' This action is intended to
restore that airspace which was omitted by airspace reclassification
and to provide adequate Class D airspace for instrument flight rules
(IFR) operations and require two-way radio communications at Dallas
Redbird Airport.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 u.t.c., October 13, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On March 29, 1994, a proposal to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify the Class D airspace at
Dallas Redbird Airport was published in the Federal Register (59 FR
14577). Airspace reclassification, effective September 16, 1994,
omitted a portion of the previous airport traffic area. After airspace
reclassification the term ``airport traffic area'' was replaced with
the designation ``Class D airspace.'' This modification is required to
restore that airspace which was omitted by airspace reclassification
and to provide adequate Class D airspace for instrument flight rules
(IFR) operations and require two-way radio communications at the Dallas
Redbird Airport.
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. 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 of FAA Order 7400.9B dated
July 18, 1994, and effective September 16, 1994, which is incorporated
by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. 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 (14
CFR part 71) modifies the Class D airspace at the Dallas Redbird
Airport to restore the Class D airspace omitted as a result of Airspace
Reclassification.
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
Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
