DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 94-AGL-31]


Modification of Class D Airspace; Cleveland, OH

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class D airspace at Cleveland, Burke 
Lakefront, OH by adjusting the lower vertical limits of the Class D 
area up to but not including the base altitude of the overlying Class B 
airspace area. Associated with airspace reclassification, guidelines 
have been established for depicting Class D airspace areas that 
underlie Class B airspace areas. The intent of this action is to 
eliminate confusion to pilots by appropriately identifying controlled 
airspace areas at Cleveland, Burke Lakefront, OH.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, May 25, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On December 23, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify the Class D 
airspace area at Cleveland, Burke Lakefront, OH (59 FR 246).
    Airspace Reclassification, effective September 16, 1993, 
discontinued the use of the term ``control zone'' and replaced it with 
the designation ``Class D'' airspace. Subsequent to and associated with 
airspace reclassification, new guidelines have been established for 
depicting Class D airspace areas that underlie Class B airspace areas. 
The base altitude of the higher class airspace, in this case Class B 
airspace, supersedes the vertical limits of the Class D airspace area. 
Therefore, this action adjusts the lower vertical limits of the Class D 
area up to but not including the base of the overlying Class B airspace 
area. The intent of this action is to eliminate confusion to pilots by 
appropriately identifying the controlled airspace areas at Cleveland, 
Burke Lakefront Airport, OH. 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 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 
modifies Class D airspace at Cleveland, Burke Lakefront Airport, OH to 
coincide with the guidelines for depicting Class D airspace areas.
    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.
