The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to remove

Class D airspace and Class E airspace at

Willoughby, OH. The required criteria

for Class D airspace is no longer being

met, as the air traffic control tower for

Willoughby, Lost Nation Airport, OH,

has been decommissioned. The removal

of the Class D airspace will also cause

the removal of the Class E airspace

extensions to the Class D airspace. Class

D airspace designations are published in

paragraph 5000, and Class E airspace

designations for airspace areas

designated as an extension to a Class D

surface area are published in paragraph

6004, of FAA Order 7400.9E dated

September 10, 1997, and effective

September 16, 1997, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace

designations listed in this document

would be removed subsequently from

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.

Therefore this, proposed 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 that this proposed rule will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

upward from 700 to 1200 feet AGL, and

controlled airspace extending upward

from 1200 feet AGL, is needed to

contain aircraft executing the approach.

The area would be depicted on

appropriate aeronautical charts. Class E

airspace designations for airspace areas

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface of the earth are

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9E dated September 10,

1997, and effective September 16, 1997,

which is incorporated by reference in 14

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace

designation listed in this document

would be published subsequently in the

Order.
