14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 02-ASO-4]


Establishment of Class D Airspace; Greenville Donaldson Center, 
SC, Amendment of Class E2 Airspace; Greer, Greenville-Spartanburg 
Airport SC, and Amendment of Class E5 Airspace; Greenville, SC

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: This action delays indefinitely the establishment of Class D 
airspace at Greenville Donaldson Center, SC, the amendment of Class E2 
airspace at Greer, Greenville-Spartanburg Airport, SC, and the 
amendment of Class E5 airspace at Greenville, SC. The construction of a 
new federal contract tower with a weather reporting system has been 
delayed, with an uncertain completion date; therefore, the effective 
date of the establishment of Class D airspace and amendment of Class E 
airspace must also be delayed indefinitely.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the final rule published May 1, 
2002, at 67 FR 21575 (0901 UTC, November 28, 2002) is delayed 
indefinitely.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    Airspace Docket No. 02-ASO-04, published in the Federal Register on 
May 1, 2002, (67 FR 21575), established Class D airspace at Greenville

[[Page 65873]]

Donaldson Center, SC, amended Class E2 airspace at Greer, Greenville-
Spartanburg Airport, SC, and amended Class E5 airspace at Greenville, 
SC. The construction of a federal contract tower with a weather 
reporting system at Donaldson Center Airport made this action 
necessary. This action was originally scheduled to become effective on 
November 28, 2002; however, an unforeseen delay in beginning 
construction on the tower has required the effective date of this 
action to be delayed. Construction is now scheduled to begin in January 
2003, with an anticipated date of September 2003. A notice announcing a 
new effective date will be published in the Federal Register at least 
90 days prior to the new effective date.
    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.
