Proposed Alternation Class D and

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This proposed rule would

modify the Class D and Class E airspace

areas established in the vicinity of the

Those airspace areas also define

controlled airspace to contain aircraft

operating to and from the Rentschler

East Hartford, CT. The owner of

Rentschler Airport has recently closed

the control tower. Therefore, this action

is necessary to revise the Class D and

Class E airspace in the vicinity of the

Rentschler and Hartford-Brainard

airports.

DATES: Comments must be received on

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

modify the Class D and Class E airspace

areas established in the vicinity of the

Hartford-Brainard Airport, Hartford, CT.

Those airspace areas also define

controlled airspace to contain aircraft

operating to and from the Rentschler

Airport, a privately operated airport in

East Hartford, CT. The owner of

Rentschler Airport, United

Technologies, Inc., has recently closed

the control tower. Therefore, this action

is necessary to revise the Class D and

Class E airspace in the vicinity of the

Rentschler and Hartford-Brainard

airports. The FAA has reviewed the

airspace needs of the Standard

Instrument Approach Procedures

(SIAP’s) at Rentschler that will remain,

and has included the controlled

airspace necessary for those SIAP’s in

the proposed airspace descriptions.

Class D and Class E airspace areas are

published in FAA Order 7400.9B, dated

July 18, 1994, and effective September

16, 1994, which is incorporated by

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. Class D

airspace areas appear in paragraph 5000

of FAA Order 7400.9B, Class E areas

extending upward from 700 feet or more

about the surface of the earth appear in

paragraph 6005. The Class D and Class

E airspace designations listed in this

document would be published

subsequently in the Order.

The FAA has determined that this

proposed regulation involves only an

established body of technical

regulations for which frequent and

routine amendments are necessary to

keep these regulations 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

economic cost will be so minimal. Since

this is a routine matter that will only

affect air traffic procedures and air

navigation, the FAA certifies 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.

Proposed Amendment to Class E

Airspace; Scribner, NE

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This notice proposes to

amend the Class E airspace area at

Scriber, NE. The development of a

standard instrument approach

procedure (SIAP) at Scribner State

Airport, utilizing the new Scriber, NE

Very High Frequency Omnidirectional

Range (VOR) as a navigational aid, has

made the proposal necessary. The

intended effect of this proposal is to

provide control airspace for aircraft

executing the SIAP at Scribner, NE. This

action will also change the airport status

from VFR to IFR.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before July 3, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the

proposal in triplicate to: Manager, Air

Traffic Operations Branch, ACE–530,
