14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 02-ASO-5]


Amendment of Class D Airspace; Marietta Dobbins ARB (NAS 
Atlanta), GA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D airspace at Marietta Dobbins ARB 
(NAS Atlanta), GA. It has been determined that the Marietta Dobbins ARB 
Class D airspace area be amended to provide containment of instrument 
approach procedures within controlled airspace. Adequate controlled 
airspace should be established for the Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR) 
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) to Runways (RWYs) 11 
and 29. This action would amend the lateral limits of the existing 
Class D airspace by adding Class D airspace extensions from the 5.5-
mile radius to 6.9 miles to the east and west of Marietta Dobbins ARB.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, October 3, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Walter R. Cochran, Manager, Airspace 
Branch, Air Traffic Division, Federal Aviation Administration, P.O. Box

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 29, 2002, the FAA proposed to amend Part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending Class D airspace at 
Marietta Dobbins ARB (NAS Atlanta), GA, (67 FR 20919). Class D airspace 
designations for airspace areas extending upward from the surface of 
the earth are published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9J, dated 
August 31, 2001, and effective September 16, 2001, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace 
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
the Order.
    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.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) amends Class D airspace at Marietta Dobbins ARB (NAS 
Atlanta), GA.
    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.

List of Subjects in CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, navigation (air).
