SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On April 1, 1999, a proposal to amend 14 CFR Part 71 to revoke the
Class D airspace at Dallas NAD, Dallas, TX, was published in the
Federal Register (64 FR 15709). The proposal was to revoke the Class D
airspace area at Dallas NAS, Dallas, TX. This action is prompted by the
closure of Dallas NAS. The United States Navy no longer requires use of
the airspace. The intended effect of this proposed is to revoke the
Class D airspace at Dallas NAS since it is no longer needed.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments to the proposal were received. The rule is adopted as
proposed.
The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. Designated Class D airspace areas are published in
paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 74000F, dated September 10, 1998, and
effective September 16, 1998, 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 14 CFR Part 71 revokes the Class D airspace at
Dallas NAD, Dallas, TX.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations that requires frequent and
routine amendments 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
effect 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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
