Modification of Class D: Clinton, OK

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

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.

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).
