[Airspace Docket No. 94-AWA-5]
Modification of the Birmingham Municipal, AL, Huntsville

Chattanooga Lovell Field, TN, Class C Airspace Areas and 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: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This amendment modifies 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 action corrects the name of the Birmingham Municipal
Airport to Birmingham International Airport and modifies 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 are amended to coincide with
the associated radar approach control facility's hours of operation.
The designated boundaries and altitudes of these Class C airspace areas
will not change. In addition, this docket establishes 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.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, March 30, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On January 6, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend 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 and establish Class E airspace areas at
Chattanooga Lovell Field, TN, and Huntsville International-Carl T.
Jones Field, AL, Airports (60 FR 2046).
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments objecting to the proposal were received. Except for
editorial changes, this amendment is the same as that proposed in the
notice. Class C and 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 E airspace designations listed in this
document will be published subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) modifies 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 action corrects the name of the Birmingham Municipal Airport to
Birmingham International Airport and modifies 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 are amended to coincide with
the associated radar approach control facility's hours of operation.
The designated boundaries and altitudes of these Class C airspace areas
will not change. In addition, this docket establishes 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.
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 [[Page 7442]] substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
