[Airspace Docket No. 99–AEA–07]

Establishment of Class D Airspace;

Salisbury, MD

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class

D airspace area at Salisbury, MD. The

commissioning of a new Air Traffic

Control Tower (ATCT) at the SalisburyOcean City, Wicomico Regional Airport

(SBY) has made this proposal necessary.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from the surface to 2,500 feet Above

Ground Level (AGL) is needed to

accommodate Instrument Flight Rules

(IFR) operations to the airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, 13 July 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Francis Jordan, Airspace Specialist,

Airspace Branch, AEA–520, Air Traffic

Division, Eastern Region, Federal

Aviation Administration, Federal

Building #111, John F. Kennedy

International Airport, Jamaica, New

York 11430, telephone: (718) 553–4521.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On June 7, 1999, a notice proposing

to amend Part 71 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish

Class D airspace at Salisbury, MD was

published in the Federal Register (64

FR 30259–30260). A new Air Traffic

Control Tower (ATCT) made this action

necessary. Controlled airspace

extending upward to 2,500 feet above

Ground Level (AGL) is needed to

contain IFR operations in controlled

airspace during portions of the terminal

operation and while transitioning

between the en-route and terminal

environments. The notice proposed to

designate the entire Class E airspace that

is now in existence to Class D airspace.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

Comments to the proposal were

received which labeled the proposed

Class D airspace excessive when it

includes all of the Class E airspace

assigned to Salisbury Airport area. After

further review the airspace area is

amended so that the established Class D

airspace is only the area within a 6.6

mile radius of the airport.

The coordinates for this airspace

docket are based on North American

Datum 83.

Class D airspace areas designations for

airspace extending upward from the

surface to a specified level are

published in paragraph 5000 of FAA

Order 7400.9F, dated September 10,

1999, and effective September 16, 1999,

which is incorporated by reference in 14

CFR 71.1. The Class D designation listed

in this document will be published

subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to Part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) establishes Class D airspace at

Salisbury, MD extending upward from

the surface to 2,500 feet AGL.

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. Therefore, this regulation—(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

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

telephone number: (425) 227–2527.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On January 24, 2000, the FAA

proposed to amend Title 14 Code of

Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR

part 71) by revising a Class E airspace

extension at Englewood, CO, in order to

accommodate a revised SIAP to the

Centennial Airport, Englewood, CO.

This amendment provides a small

amount of additional Class E4 airspace

at Englewood, CO, to meet current

criteria standards associated with the

SIAP. The FAA establishes Class E

airspace where necessary to contain

aircraft transitioning between the

terminal and en route enivornments.

The intended effect of this proposal is

designed to provide for the safe and

efficient use of the navigable airspace.

This rule promotes safe flight operations

under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) at

the Centennial Airport and between the

terminal and en route transition stages.

The area will be depicted on

aeronautical charts for pilot reference.

The coordinates for this airspace docket

are based on North American Datum 83.

Class E airspace areas designated as an

extension to a Class D airspace area, are

published in paragraph 6004, of FAA
