Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 98-ASW-31]


Revision of Class D Airspace; Dallas NAS, Dallas, TX

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: This action withdraws the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 
published in the Federal Register on June 9, 1998, which proposed to 
revise Class D airspace at Dallas Naval Air Station (NAS), Dallas, TX. 
The NPRM proposed to provide Class D airspace, controlled airspace 
extending upward from the surface to and including 3,000 feet mean sea 
level (MSL), in the vicinity of Grand Prairie Municipal Airport, Grand 
Prairie, TX. Upon reevaluation, the FAA has determined that the 
proposed airspace revision would adversely affect the traffic flow at 
Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW), Dallas Love, and Arlington 
airports, causing unnecessary delays. Accordingly, the NPRM is 
withdrawn.

DATES: The notice of proposed rulemaking published at 63 FR 31384 is 
withdrawn on September 25, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Donald J. Day, Airspace Branch, Federal Aviation Administration, 
Southwest Region, Fort Worth, TX 76193-0530; telephone 817-222-5593.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 9, 1998 (63 FR 31384), an NPRM was 
published in the Federal Register proposing to revise Class D airspace 
at Dallas NAS, Dallas, TX. The intended effect of the NPRM was to 
provide Class D airspace, controlled airspace extending upward from the 
surface to and including 3,000 feet MSL, at Grand Prairie Municipal 
Airport, Grand Prairie, TX. Upon reevaluation, the FAA has determined 
that the proposed airspace revision would adversely affect the traffic 
flow at DFW, Dallas Love, and Arlington airports, causing unnecessary 
delays. Accordingly, the NPRM published in the Federal Register on June 
9, 1998, is withdrawn. Since this action only withdraws an NPRM, it is 
neither a proposed nor a final rule and therefore is not covered under 
Executive Order 12866, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, or DOT 
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979).

Withdrawal of Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, Airspace 
Docket No. 98-ASW-31, as published in the Federal Register on June 9, 
1998 (63 FR 31384), is withdrawn.

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40103, 40113, 40120; E.O. 10854; 24 
FR 9565, 3 CFR, 1959-1963 Comp., p. 389.

    Issued in Fort Worth, TX, September 14, 1998.
