14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 94-AGL-21]
Establishment of Class E Airspace; Muskegon, MI
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Muskegon County
Airport, Muskegon, MI. Presently, this area is designated as Class D
airspace when the associated air traffic control tower is operational.
However, controlled airspace to the surface is needed when the control
tower located at this airport is closed. The intended affect of this
action is to provide adequate Class E airspace for instrument flight
rule (IFR) operations when the control tower is closed.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, December 8, 1994.

Angeline Perri, Air Traffic Division, System Management Branch, AGL-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On July 12, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace at
Muskegon County Airport, Muskegon, MI (59 FR 35492). 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 E airspace areas designated as surface areas
for airports are published in Paragraph 6002 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 E 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
establishes Class E airspace at Muskegon County Airport, Muskegon, MI.
Currently, the airspace is designated as Class D when the associated
air traffic control tower is in operation. However, controlled airspace
to the surface is needed when the control tower located at this airport
is closed. The intended affect of this action is to provide adequate
Class E airspace for IFR operations when the control tower is closed.
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.
