DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 93-ASW-53]
Modification of Class D: Clinton, OK
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class D airspace at Clinton-Sherman
Airport, Clinton, OK. The Clinton-Sherman airport is used by military
jet trainers. The existing vertical limit of the Class D airspace is
not sufficient for these high performance aircraft. This action is
intended to increase the vertical limit of the Class D airspace for all
operations and require two-way radio communications at the Clinton-
Sherman Airport, Clinton, OK.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 u.t.c., October 13, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On November 24, 1993, a proposal to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify the Class D airspace at
Clinton, OK, was published in the Federal Register (58 FR 62056). The
existing vertical limit of the Class D airspace at Clinton-Sherman
Airport is not sufficient for high performance military jet aircraft.
This action is intended to increase the vertical limit of the Class D
airspace for all operations, and require two-way radio communications
at the Clinton-Sherman Airport, Clinton, OK.
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. Except for
editorial changes, 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 Clinton, OK, to increase
the vertical limit of the Class D airspace to contain all operations
and require two-way radio communications at the Clinton-Sherman
Airport, Clinton, OK.
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).

In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation
Administration amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows:
