DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 94-AWA-6]


Proposed Modification of the Flint Bishop International, MI, 
Madison Dane County Regional-Traux Field, WI, Peoria Greater Peoria 
Regional, IL, Toledo Express Airport, OH, Columbus AFB, MS, and the 
Jackson International Airport, MS, Class C Airspace Areas and Proposed 
Establishment of the Madison Dane County Regional-Traux Field, WI, and 
Jackson International Airport, MS, Class E Airspace Areas

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: This proposed rule would modify the Flint Bishop 
International, MI, Madison Dane County Regional-Traux Field, WI, Peoria 
Greater Peoria Regional, IL, Jackson International Airport, MS, Toledo 
Express Airport, OH, and the Columbus AFB, MS, Class C airspace areas. 
This proposed action would amend the effective hours to coincide with 
the associated radar approach control facility's hours of operation. 
The designated boundaries and altitudes of these Class C airspace areas 
would not change. Class C airspace areas are predicated on an 
operational air traffic control tower (ATCT) serviced by a radar 
approach control facility. In addition, this action proposes to 
establish Class E airspace at Madison Dane County Regional-Traux Field, 
WI, and Jackson International Airport, MS, when the associated radar 
approach control facility is not in operation.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 26, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the proposal in triplicate to: Federal 
Aviation Administration, Office of the Chief Counsel, Attention: Rules 
Docket [AGC-200], Airspace Docket No. 94-AWA-6, 800 Independence 
Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20591.
    The official docket may be examined in the Rules Docket, Office of 
the Chief Counsel, Room 916, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, 
DC, weekdays, except Federal holidays, between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
    An informal docket may also be examined during normal business 
hours at the office of the Regional Air Traffic Division.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify the Flint Bishop 
International, MI, Madison Dane County Regional-Traux Field, WI, Peoria 
Greater Peoria Regional, IL, Toledo Express Airport, OH, Columbus AFB, 
MS, and the Jackson International Airport, MS, Class C airspace areas 
by amending the effective hours to coincide with the associated radar 
approach control facility's hours of operation. The designated 
boundaries and altitudes of these Class C airspace areas would not 
change. In addition, this action proposes to establish the Madison Dane 
County Regional-Traux Field, WI, and the Jackson International Airport, 
MS, Class E airspace areas to provide controlled airspace for 
instrument approaches. Class C and E airspace designations are 
published in paragraphs 4000 and 6002, respectively, 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 C and E airspace 
designations listed in this document would be published subsequently in 
the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
