14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 95-ASO-5]
Establishment of Class D and E Airspace; Marietta, GA, Amendment
of Class D and E Airspace and Removal of Class E Airspace; Atlanta
Dobbins AFB, GA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This amendment establishes Class D and E airspace at Marietta,
GA, modifies Class D and E airspace at Atlanta Dobbins AFB, GA, and
removes Class E airspace at Atlanta Dobbins AFB, GA. The Cobb County-
McCollum Field Airport currently is included in the Atlanta Dobbins
AFB, GA, Class D airspace area. A nonfederal control tower has been
commissioned at the Cobb County-McCollum Field Airport, which has a LOC
RWY 27 Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) and a VOR/DME or
GPS RWY 9 SIAP. Separate Class D airspace is required to accommodate
these SIAPs and for instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the
Cobb County-McCollum Field Airport. Class E airspace designated as a
surface area is also required, when the tower is closed and air traffic
control service is provided by Atlanta Tower. As a result of this
action the Atlanta Dobbins AFB, GA, Class D airspace area and the Class
E Airspace area designated as a surface area would be reduced, and the
Class E airspace area designated as an extension to the Class D surface
area would be removed concurrent with the establishment of the Class D
and E airspace areas at Marietta, GA, for the Cobb County-McCollum
Field Airport. This amendment also changes the title of the Atlanta
Dobbins AFB, GA, airspace designation and the name of the Dobbins AFB
airport. The title of the airspace designation is changed from Atlanta
Dobbins AFB, GA, to Marietta Dobbins ARB (NAS Atlanta), GA. The name of
the airport is changed from Dobbins AFB to Dobbins ARB (NAS Atlanta).
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, September 14, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On March 16, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) by establishing Class D and E
Airspace at Marietta GA, modifying Class D and E airspace at Atlanta
Dobbins AFB, GA, and removing Class E airspace at Atlanta Dobbins AFB,
GA (60 FR 14238). This action would provide adequate Class D and E
airspace for IFR operations at the Cobb County-McCollum Field Airport
and the Dobbins ARB (NAS Atlanta) Airport.
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. Class D airspace
designations, Class E airspace areas designated as a surface area for
an airport, and Class E airspace areas designated as an extension to a
Class D surface area are published in Paragraphs 5000, 6002 and 6004
respectively of FAA Order 7400.9B dated July 18, 1994, and effective
September 16, 1994. The Class D and E airspace designations 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) establishes Class D and E airspace at Marietta, GA,
modifies Class D and E airspace at Atlanta Dobbins AFB, GA, and removes
Class E airspace at Atlanta Dobbins AFB, GA, in order to accommodate
current SIAPs and for IFR operations at the Cobb County-McCollum Field
Airport and the Dobbins ARB (NAS Atlanta) Airport, as a result of the
commissioning of a non-federal control tower at the Cobb County-
McCollum Field Airport. This amendment also changes the title of the
Atlanta Dobbins AFB, GA, airspace designation and the name of the
Dobbins AFB airport. The title of the airspace designation is changed
from Atlanta Dobbins AFB, GA, to Marietta Dobbins ARB (NAS Atlanta),
GA. The name of the airport is changed from Dobbins AFB to Dobbins ARB
(NAS Atlanta).
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.
