14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2003-15466; Airspace Docket No. 03-ASO-9]


Establishment of Class D and E Airspace; Ormond Beach, FL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class D and E4 airspace at Ormond 
Beach, FL. A Federal contract tower with a weather reporting system has 
been constructed at the Ormond Beach Municipal Airport. Therefore, the 
airport meets criteria for Class D and E4 airspace. Class D surface 
area airspace and Class E4 airspace designated as an extension to Class 
D airspace is required when the control tower is open to contain 
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and other Instrument 
Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport. This action establishes 
Class D airspace extending upward from the surface to but not including 
1,200 feet MSL, within a 3.2-mile radius of the Ormond Beach Municipal 
Airport and a Class E4 airspace extension that is 4.8 miles wide and 
extends 6.9 miles northwest of the airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, February 19, 2004.

Branch, Air Traffic Division, Federal Aviation Administration, P.O. Box

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On July 17, 2003, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class D and E4 
airspace at Ormond Beach, FL, (68 FR 42322). This action provides 
adequate Class D and E4 airspace for IFR operations at Ormond Beach 
Municipal Airport. Class D airspace designations for airspace areas 
extending upward from the surface of the earth and Class E4 airspace 
areas designated as an extension to a Class D surface area are 
published in Paragraphs 5000 and 6004 respectively, of FAA Order 
7400.9L, dated September 2, 2003, and effective September 16, 2003, 
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and 
Class E4 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) establishes Class D and E4 airspace at Ormond Beach, FL.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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) so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only 
affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that 
this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
