Proposed Amendment to Class D and

Class E Airspace; New England Region

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This notice proposes to

amend the Class D airspace areas at

Beverly, MA (BVY); Bedford, MA (BED);

Danbury, CT (DXR); Norwood, MA

(OWD); Lebanon, NH (LEB); and

Nashua, NH (ASH); and to amend the

associated Class E airspace areas at

Beverly (BVY), Lebanon (LEB), and

Nashua (ASH). The FAA has

determined after a review of the

elevation of the surrounding terrain in

the vicinity of these airports that the

lateral limits of the Class D areas at

these airports may be reduced and the

appropriate changes made to the Class

E airspace areas.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before January 17, 1996.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

reduce the lateral limits of the Class D

airspace areas at Beverly, MA (BVY);

Bedford, MA (BED); Danbury, CT (DXR);

Norwood, MA (OWD); Lebanon, NH

(LEB); and Nashua, NH (ASH); and, as

a consequence to those changes, to make

the necessary changes to the associated

Class E airspace areas at Beverly (BVY),

Lebanon (LEB), and Nashua (ASH). This

action is the result of an extensive

review of the elevation of the

surrounding terrain at airports in the

New England region with Class D

airspace areas. That review came in

response to concerns expressed by

operators and other interested parties

over recent changes to the lateral limits

of Class D airspace areas in the New

England Region. By using more detailed

topographical charts and more precise

calculations, the FAA has determined

that reductions in the lateral limits of

the Class D airspace areas at BVY, BED,

DXR, OWD, LEB, and ASH are

appropriate and will not affect aviation

safety. As a result of the reductions to

the Class D airspace areas at BVY, LEB,

and ASH, the FAA must also make

minor adjustments to the associated

Class E areas at those airports. Class D

airspace designations, and Class E

airspace designations for airspace areas

extending upward from the surface of

the earth defined as extensions to Class

D airspace areas, are published in

paragraphs 5000 and 6004, respectively,

of FAA Order 7400.9C, dated August 17,

1995, and effective September 16, 1995,

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 this Order.

The FAA has determined that these

proposed regulations only involve an

established body of technical

regulations for which frequent and

routine amendments are necessary to

keep them operationally current.

Therefore, these proposed regulations—

(1) are not ‘‘significant regulatory

actions’’ under Executive Order 12866;

(2) are not ‘‘significant rules’’ under

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures

(44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and

(3) do not warrant preparation of a

Regulatory Evaluation as these routine

matters will only affect air traffic

procedures and air navigation, it is

certified that these proposed rules will

not have significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

authority delegated to me, the Federal

Aviation Administration proposes to

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) as follows:

[Airspace Docket No. 95–AWP–28]

Proposed Establishment of Class E

Airspace; Willcox, AZ

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This notice proposes to

establish a Class E airspace area at

Wilcox, AZ. The development of a

Global Positioning System (GPS)

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 21

and RWY 3 has made this proposal

necessary. The intended effect of this

proposal is to provide adequate

controlled airspace for Instrument Flight

Rules (IFR) operations at Cochise

County Airport, Willcox, AZ.
