DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 95-ASO-23]


Removal of Class E Airspace; Marietta, GA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This amendment removes Class E airspace at Marietta, GA. The 
required weather observations are not available to Atlanta Tower, the 
ATC facility having jurisdiction over the Class E2 surface area 
airspace at the Cobb County-McCollum Field Airport, when the Cobb 
County-McCollum Field Airport Traffic Control Tower is closed. 
Therefore, the Class E2 surface area airspace for the airport must be 
revoked.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 9091 UTC, February 29, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Benny L. McGlamery, System Management Branch, Air Traffic Division, 
Federal Aviation Administration, P.O. Box 20636, Atlanta, Georgia 
30320; telephone (404) 305-5570.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    It is a requirement that weather observations shall be taken at the 
surface area's primary airport during the times and dates a surface 
area is designated, and further that the required weather observation 
shall be transmitted expeditiously to the ATC facility having 
jurisdiction over the surface area. When the Cobb County-McCollum Field 
Airport Traffic Control Tower is closed this requirement is not being 
met. This action will eliminate the impact Class E2 surface area 
airspace has placed on users of the airspace in the vicinity of the 
Cobb County-McCollum Field Airport. This rule will become effective on 
the date specified in the DATES section. Since this action removes the 
Class E2 surface area airspace, which eliminates the impact of Class E2 
surface area airspace on users of the airspace in the vicinity of the 
Cobb County-McCollum Field Airport, notice and public procedure under 5 
U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.

The Rule

    The amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) removes Class E airspace at Marietta, GA. The required 
weather observations are not available to Atlanta Tower, the ATC 
facility having jurisdiction over the Class E2 surface area airspace at 
the Cobb County-McCollum Field Airport, when the Cobb County-McCollum 
Field Airport Traffic Control Tower is closed. Therefore, the Class E2 
surface area airspace for the airport must be revoked.
    The FAA has determined that this 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 rule will not have a significant economic impact on 
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
