Establishment of Class D Airspace; 

Waco, TSTC-Waco Airport, TX 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend Class D airspace at Waco, TX, by 

separating the Class D airspace at Waco 

Regional Airport from the Class D 

airspace at TSTC-Waco Airport. The 

FAA is taking this action to alleviate 

multiple air traffic controllers handling 

the same airspace and for the safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations for standard instrument 

approach procedures at the airport. The 

geographic coordinates for Waco 

Regional Airport also would be 

adjusted.

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking 

(202) 267–9677, to request a copy of 

Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking Distribution 

System, which describes the application 

procedure. 

The Proposal 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 

CFR), Part 71 by amending Class D 

airspace at Waco, TX, by separating the 

Class D airspace area for Waco Regional 

Airport from the Class D airspace area 

for TSTC-Waco Airport to enhance the 

management of IFR operations for 

standard instrument approach 

procedures at both airports. TSTC-Waco 

Airport would be removed from its 

current designation and established 

under its own designator; Waco, TSTCWaco Airport, TX, to accommodate this 

separation of controlled airspace 

surrounding Waco Regional Airport. 

This would enhance safety by not 

having multiple air traffic controllers 

responsible for the same airspace. 

Geographic coordinates would also be 

updated to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. 

Class D airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 

7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012 and 

effective September 15, 2012, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D airspace designation 

listed in this document would be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

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) 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, 

when promulgated, will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

Section 106 describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the agency’s 

authority. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it would 

amend controlled airspace at Waco 

Regional Airport, Waco, TX. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
