1994, 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.

The FAA has determined that this

proposed regulation only involved 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 certified 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.

Proposed Modification of the

Birmingham Municipal, AL, Huntsville

Columbia Metropolitan, SC, and

Chattanooga Lovell Field, TN, Class C

Airspace Areas and Proposed

Establishment of the Huntsville

International-Carl T. Jones Field, AL,

and Chattanooga Lovell Field, TN,

Class E Airspace Areas

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This proposed rule would

modify the Class C airspace areas at

Birmingham Municipal, AL, Huntsville

International-Carl T. Jones Field, AL,

Columbia Metropolitan, SC, and

Chattanooga Lovell Field, TN, Airports.

This proposed action would correct the

name of the Birmingham Municipal

Airport to Birmingham International

Airport, and modify the Columbia

Metropolitan, SC, airspace designation

to reflect continuous operation and

availability of services, therein. The

effective hours of the Huntsville

International-Carl T. Jones Field, AL,

and Chattanooga Lovell Field, TN, Class

C airspace areas would be amended to

coincide with the associated radar

approach control facility’s hours of

operation. Class C airspace areas are

predicated on an operational air traffic

control tower (ATCT) serviced by a

radar approach control facility. This

proposal would not change the

designated boundaries or altitudes of

these Class C airspace areas. In addition,

this notice proposes to establish Class E

airspace at Chattanooga Lovell Field,

TN, and Huntsville International-Carl T.

Jones Field, AL, Airports when the

associated radar approach control

facility is not in operation.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before January 23, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the

proposal in triplicate to: Federal

Aviation Administration, Office of the

Chief Counsel, Attention: Rules Docket

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

modify the Class C airspace areas at

Birmingham Municipal, AL, Huntsville

International-Carl T. Jones Field, AL,

Columbia Metropolitan, SC, and

Chattanooga Lovell Field, TN, Airports.

This proposed action would correct the

name of the Birmingham Municipal

Airport to Birmingham International

Airport, and modify the Columbia

Metropolitan, SC, airspace designation

to reflect continuous operation and

availability of services, therein. The

effective hours of the Huntsville

International-Carl T. Jones Field, AL,

and Chattanooga Lovell Field, TN, Class

C airspace areas would be amended to

coincide with the associated radar

approach control facility’s hours of

operation. Class C airspace areas are

predicated on an operational ATCT

serviced by a radar approach control

facility. This proposal would not change

the designated boundaries or altitudes

of these Class C airspace areas. In

addition, this notice proposes to

establish Class E airspace at

Chattanooga Lovell Field, TN, and

Huntsville International-Carl T. Jones

Field, AL, Airports when the associated

radar approach control facility is not in

operation. Class C and Class E airspace

designations are published in

paragraphs 4000 and 6002 respectively,

of FAA Order 7400.9B dated July 18,

1994, and effective September 16, 1994,

which is incorporated by reference in 14

CFR 71.1. The Class C and Class E

airspace designations listed in this

document would be published

subsequently in the Order.

The FAA has determined that this

proposed 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, when

promulgated, will not have a significant

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

establish additional Class E Airspace for

IFR aircraft operations in the vicinity of

Dunkirk, NY. Airspace reclassification,

in effect as of September 16, 1993, has

discontinued the use of the term

‘‘Transition Area,’’ and certain

controlled airspace areas extending

upward from 700 feet above the surface

of the earth are now Class E airspace.

The coordinates for this airspace docket

are based on North American Datum 83.

Class E airspace areas extending upward

from 700 feet above the surface of the

earth are published in Paragraph 6005 of

FAA Order 7400.9B, Airspace

Designations and Reporting Points,

dated July 18, 1994, and effective

September 16, 1994, 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.

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, when

promulgated, this rule will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.
