Docket No. 21–ASO–39] 

RIN 2120–AA66 

Proposed Amendment of Class D 

Airspace and Class E Airspace; 

Lawrenceville, GA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend Class D airspace and Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface in Lawrenceville, 

GA. This action would update the 

airport’s name in both the Class D and 

E airspace to Gwinnett County/Briscoe 

Field. In addition, this action would 

amend the Class D airspace by creating 

an extension to the southwest. The Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface would be 

amended by increasing the radius and 

eliminating the extension to the east. 

Also, this action would eliminate the 

Gwinnett Non-directional Beacon (NDB) 

from the legal description. This action 

would also make an editorial change 

replacing the term Airport/Facility 

Directory with the term Chart 

Supplement in the legal description of 

the Class D airspace. Controlled airspace 

is necessary for the safety and 

management of instrument flight rules 

(IFR) operations in the area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, 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 airspace in Lawrenceville, GA, to 

support IFR operations in the area. 

Comments Invited 

Interested persons are invited to 

comment on this proposed rulemaking 

by submitting such written data, views,

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference

dated August 10, 2021, and effective 

September 15, 2021. FAA Order JO

The Proposal 

The FAA proposes an amendment to 

14 CFR part 71 to amend Class D 

airspace and Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

for Gwinnett County/Briscoe Field 

Airport, Lawrenceville, GA. 

The Gwinnett County/Briscoe Field 

Airport (formerly Gwinnett CountyBriscoe Field Airport) Class D airspace 

would be amended by updating the 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 11 / Tuesday, January 18, 2022 / Proposed Rules 2569 

airport’s name, and adding an extension 

1 mile each side of the airports 244° 

bearing extending from the airports 4.6- 

mile radius to 5.5 miles southwest of the 

airport, and replacing the outdated term 

Airport/Facility Directory with the term 

Chart Supplement in the airport 

description; 

The Gwinnett County/Briscoe Field 

Airport (formerly Lawrenceville, 

Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field Airport) 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface would be 

amended by updating the airport’s 

name, increasing the radius to 7.0 miles 

(formerly 6.5 miles), eliminating the 

extension to the east, and removing the 

Gwinnett County NDB from the 

description. 

Controlled airspace is necessary for 

the safety and management of 

instrument flight rules (IFR) operations 

in the area. 

Class D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in 

Paragraphs 5000 and 6005, respectively, 

of FAA Order JO 7400.11F, dated 

August 10, 2021, and effective 

September 15, 2021, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

would be published subsequently in 

FAA Order JO 7400.11. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, is 

published yearly and effective on 

September 15. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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 

proposed 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. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’, prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
