Modification of Los Angeles (LAX)

Class B Airspace Area; CA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: This action corrects a final

rule published in the Federal Register

on December 19, 1996 (61 FR 66902),

Airspace Docket No. 93–AWA–13. This

rule modified the Los Angeles (LAX)

Class B airspace area. In the final rule,

the airspace designation as Area G

inadvertently contained two errors. This

action corrects those errors.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC July 17, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Federal

Register Document 96–32109, Airspace

Docket No. 93–AWA–13, published on

December 19, 1996 (96 FR 66902),

modified the LAX Class B airspace area.

However, in the rule the description for

Area G inadvertently described the

portion of the area after Imperial Hwy/

Pacific Ocean with incorrect

coordinates. This action corrects the

coordinates after Imperial Hwy/Pacific

Ocean by replacing them with the

correct coordinates. Additionally, the

airspace designation contained a

descriptive boundary line defined by

coordinates that should not have been

included in the legal description. This

action corrects the description of Area G

by removing those coordinates.

Correction to Final Rule

Accordingly, pursuant to the

authority delegated to me, the airspace

designation for Area G, for the Class B

airspace area as published in the

Federal Register on December 19, 1996,

(61 FR 66906; Federal Register

Document 96–32109, Column 3) is

corrected as follows:

§ 71.71 [Corrected]

Area G. That airspace extending

upward from 5,000 feet MSL to and

including 10,000 feet MSL bounded by

a line beginning at lat. 33°55′51′′ N,

[Airspace Docket No. 96–ASW–29]

Revocation of Class D Airspace;

Blytheville, AR

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: This action revokes the Class

D airspace at Blytheville, AR. The

decommissioning of the Blytheville,

Arkansas International Airport control

tower removes the need for Class D

airspace extending upward from the

surface to, but not including, 2,800 feet

Mean Sea Level (MSL) within a 4.6-mile

radius of the airport. This action is

intended to revoke the unnecessary

Class D airspace.

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, March

7, 1997.

Comment date: Comments must be

received on or before April 21, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the rule

in triplicate to Manager, Operations

Branch, Air Traffic Division, Federal

Aviation Administration Southwest

Region, Docket No. 96–ASW–29, Fort

Worth, TX 76193–0530.

The official docket may be examined

in the Office of the Assistant Chief

Counsel, Federal Aviation

Administration, Southwest Region, 2601

Meacham Boulevard, Room 663, Fort

Worth, TX, between 9:00 AM and 3:00

PM, Monday through Friday, except

Federal holidays. An informal docket

may also be examined during normal

business hours at the Operations

Branch, Air Traffic Division, Federal

Aviation Administration, Southwest

Region, Room 414, Fort Worth, TX.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Request for Comments on the Rule

Although this action is a final rule,

which involves the revocation of Class

D airspace at Blytheville, AR, and was

not preceded by notice and public

procedure, comments are invited on the

rule. However, after the review of any

comments and, if the FAA finds that

further changes are appropriate, it will

initiate rulemaking proceedings to

extend the effective date or to amend

the regulation.

Interested parties are invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

Comments that provide the factual basis

supporting the views and suggestions

presented are particularly helpful in

evaluating the effects of the rule, and in

determining whether additional

rulemaking is required.

Class D airspace designations are

published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA

Order 7400.9D dated September 4, 1996,

and effective September 16, 1996, which

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class D airspace 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) revokes the Class D airspace,

providing controlled airspace for

terminal instrument operations, located

at Blytheville, Arkansas International

Airport, AR. The current Class D

airspace was supported by a control

tower, which was decommissioned

following the closure of Eaker Air Force

Base, subsequently renamed Blytheville,

Arkansas International Airport.

Since this action merely involves the

revocation of Class D airspace as a result

of closing the airport control tower,

notice and public procedure under 5

U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. Since

there will no longer be a control tower

at Blytheville, Arkansas International

Airport, the Class D airspace must be

removed to avoid confusion on the part

of the pilots flying in the vicinity of the

airport, and to promote the safe and

efficient handling of air traffic in the

area. Therefore, I find that notice and

public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553 are

unnecessary and good cause exists for

making this amendment effective in less

than thirty days.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation only involves an established

body of technical regulations that need

frequent and routine amendments 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.

Adoption of the Amendment

Federal Aviation Administration

Removal of Class D Airspace;

Shreveport Downtown Airport, LA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; request for

comments.

remove the controlled airspace for

aircraft operating in the vicinity of

Shreveport Downtown Airport, LA.
