Federal Aviation Administration
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 99-ASO-18]
Proposed Amendment to Class D
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice proposes to amend Class D airspace at Mc Entire
ANGB, Eastover, SC. In accordance with a periodic review, the Non-
Directional Radio Beacon (NDB) Runway (RWY) 32 Standard Instrument
Approach Procedure (SIAP) requires additional airspace. As a result,
additional controlled airspace extending upward from the surface is
needed to accommodate the SIAP at Mc Entire ANGB. An extension via the
164 deg. bearing from the Mc Entire NDB for the NDB RWY 32 SIAP would
be necessary. The length of the Class D airspace extension southeast of
the NDB would be 6.3 miles, and the width of the airspace extension
would be 5 miles.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 29, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Send comments on the proposal in triplicate to: Federal
Aviation Administration, Docket No. 99-ASO-18, Manager, Airspace
Branch, ASO-520, P.O. Box 20636, Atlanta, Georgia 30320. The office
docket may be examined in the Office of the Regional Counsel for
Southern Region, Room 550, 1701 Columbia Avenue, College Park, Georgia

Branch, Air Traffic Division, Federal Aviation Administration, P.O. Box

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class D airspace at Mc
Entire ANGB, Eastover, SC. A periodic review reveals the NDB RWY 32
SIAP requires additional airspace. Additional controlled airspace
extending upward from the surface is needed to accommodate the SIAP at
Mc Entire ANGB. Class D airspace designations are published in
Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9G, dated September 1, 1999, and
effective September 16, 1999, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class D 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 regulation 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
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
