[Airspace Docket No. 94-ANM-33]

 

Amendment of Class D Airspace; Idaho Falls, ID

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends the Fanning Field, Idaho Falls, ID, Class D 
airspace from full-time to part-time operations. Recent staffing 
reductions, and reduced aeronautical activity, have reduced the need 
for full-time operations at the airport traffic control tower (ATCT). 
The information will be published in the Airport/Facility Directory for 
pilot reference.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 2, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ted Melland, System Management Branch,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On August 23, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by modifying the Class D 
airspace area at Fanning Field, Idaho Falls, ID (59 FR 43311). 
Decreased aeronautical operations and reduced FAA staffing have 
required elimination of the midnight shift schedule at the ATCT.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments were received. Class D airspace areas extending upward from 
the surface of the earth 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 airspace 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) amends the Class D airspace at Fanning Field, Idaho Falls, 
ID, by providing information regarding part-time operations at the 
ATCT.
    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. 
Therefore, this regulation--(1) if 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.
