DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 95-ASO-11]


Establishment of Class D and Class E2 Airspace; Lawrenceville, GA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This amendment establishes Class D and Class E2 airspace at 
Lawrenceville, GA. A non-federal control tower is being commissioned at 
the Lawrenceville/Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field Airport. Class D 
airspace is required when the control tower is open to accommodate 
current Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and for 
instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport. Class E2 
airspace is required when the control tower is closed and approach 
control service to the surface is provided by Atlanta Tower.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, November 9, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On June 27, 1995 the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class D and Class 
E2 airspace at Lawrenceville, GA, (60 FR 33157). This action would 
provide adequate Class D and Class E2 airspace for IFR operations at 
the Lawrenceville/Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field 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 and Class E airspace areas designated as a surface area 
for an airport are published in Paragraphs 5000 and 6002 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 Class E2 airspace at 
Lawrenceville, GA, to accommodate current SIAPs and for IFR operations 
at the Lawrenceville/Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field Airport, as a result 
of a non-federal control tower commissioned at the airport.
    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.
