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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:Alvin DeVane, System Management Branch, 
Air Traffic Division, Southwest Region, Department of Transportation,

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).
