[Airspace Docket No. 96-AWP-34]


Proposed Revision of Class D and Class E Airspace; Los Angeles, 
CA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: This action withdraws the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 
to revise the Class D and Class E airspace areas at Los Angeles 
Hawthorne Municipal Airport, CA. The NPRM is being withdrawn as a 
result of the complexity of the air traffic procedures and operations 
in this area. Further analysis is necessary to reduce the complexity 
and incorporate appropriate changes into the airspace design.

DATES: The proposed rule is withdrawn as of February 25, 1997.

Region, Federal Aviation Administration, Docket No. 96-AWP-34, 15000

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Proposed Rule

    On January 8, 1997, a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking was published 
in the Federal Register to revise the Class D and Class E airspace 
areas at Los Angeles Hawthorne Municipal Airport, CA (62 FR 1063). 
During airspace reclassification, the Hawthorne Airport Traffic Area 
(ATA) and the Los Angeles ATA were combined to form the Hawthorne Class 
D airspace. Action was initiated to redesign the Los Angeles Hawthorne 
Municipal Airport surface areas to reduce the complexity of air traffic 
procedures within this area.

Conclusion

    The proposed action would have resulted in a reduction of the 
surface areas for the Los Angeles Hawthorne Municipal Airport, CA. The 
proposal would not have reduced the complexity of the air traffic 
procedures and operations in this area. Further analysis is necessary 
to incorporate appropriate changes into the airspace design.
