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.
