Removal of Class D and E2 Airspace; Lawrenceville, GA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

in November, 1995, has been delayed indefinitely. Therefore, the Class
D and E2 surface area airspace for the airport must be revoked.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, April 25, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
Class D and E2 surface area airspace at Lawrenceville, GA, were
established to support the planned opening of a non-federal control
tower at the Lawrenceville/Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field Airport. Due
to construction problems, the opening has been delayed indefinitely.
Therefore, the Class D and E2 airspace are not necessary. This rule
will become effective on the date specified in the DATES section. Since
this action removes the Class D and E2 surface area airspace, and as a
result, eliminates the impact of Class D and E2 airspace on users of
the airspace in the vicinity of the Lawrenceville/Gwinnett
[[Page 1706]]
County-Briscoe Field Airport, notice and public procedure under 5
U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) removes Class D and E2 airspace at Lawrenceville, GA. A
non-federal control tower being constructed at the Lawrenceville/
Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field Airport, due to be opened in November,
1995, has been delayed indefinitely. Therefore, the Class D and E2
surface area airspace established to support the control tower at 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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
