14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 94-AGL-32]
Establishment of Class E Airspace; Wilmington, OH
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Wilmington,
Airborne Airpark, OH. Presently, this area is designated as Class D
airspace when the associated control tower is in operation. However,
controlled airspace to the surface is needed when the control tower
located at this area is closed. The intended effect of this action is
to provide adequate Class E airspace for instrument flight rule (IFR)
operations when the control tower is closed.
DATES: Effective date--0901 UTC, March 30, 1995.
Comment date: Comments must be received on or before Jan. 17, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Send comments on the rule in triplicate to:
Manager, Air Traffic Division, System Management Branch, AGL-530,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Request for Comments on the Rule
Although this action is in the form of a final rule, and was not
preceded by notice and public procedure, comments are invited on the
rule. When the comment period ends, the FAA will use the comments
submitted, together with other available information, to review the
regulation. If the FAA receives no adverse comments in response to this
action, this rule will become effective on the date specified in the
``DATES'' section. After the review, if the FAA finds that further
changes are appropriate, it will initiate rulemaking proceedings to
amend the regulation.
Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the views and
suggestions presented are particularly helpful in evaluating the
effects of the rule, and in determining whether additional rulemaking
is required. Comments are specifically invited on the overall
regulatory, aeronautical, economic, environmental, and energy-related
aspects of the rule which might suggest the need to modify the rule.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Feral Aviation Regulations (14 CFR
part 71) establishes Class E airspace at Wilmington, Airborne Airpark,
OH. Currently, this airspace is designated as Class D when the
associated control tower is in operation. Nevertheless, controlled
airspace to the surface is needed for IFR operations at Airborne
Airpark when the control tower is closed. The intended effect of this
action is to provide adequate Class E airspace for IFR operations at
the airport when the control tower is closed. As noted in the Airspace
Reclassification Final Rule, published in the Federal Register on
December 17, 1991, airspace at an airport with a part-time control
tower should be designated as a Class D airspace area when the control
tower is in operation, and as a Class E airspace area when the control
tower is closed (56 FR 65645).
The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. Class E airspace designations are published in
Paragraph 6002 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 E airspace designation listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order. Under the circumstances presented,
the FAA concludes that there is an immediate need to establish this
Class E airspace area in order to promote the safe and efficient
handling of air traffic in these areas. Therefore, I find that notice
and public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and
contrary to the public interest.
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.
