DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 93-ANM-35]
Establishment of Class D Airspace; Hailey, ID
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action proposes to establish Class D airspace at Friedman
Memorial Airport, Hailey, Idaho. Midwest ATC Service, Inc., operates a
control tower at Friedman Memorial Airport with an associated airport
traffic area. Airspace Reclassification, which became effective
September 16, 1993, discontinued the use of the term ``airport traffic
area'' and eliminated those ATA's not already designated to become
Class D Airspace. As a result, the requirement for two-way radio
communication with the control tower at Friedman Memorial Airport
lapsed. The intended effect of this proposal is to provide adequate
Class D airspace to contain instrument flight rules (IFR) operations
and continue the two-way radio communication requirement at Friedman
Memorial Airport.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 u.t.c., June 23, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On January 12, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing the
Hailey, Idaho, Class D airspace (59 FR 1680). 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.
Airspace reclassification, in effect as of September 16, 1993, has
discontinued the use of the term ``airspace traffic area,'' replacing
it with the designation ``Class D airspace.'' Class D airspace areas
are published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9A dated June 17,
1993, and effective September 16, 1993, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1 (58 FR 36298; July 6, 1993). The Class D
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
establishes the Class D airspace at Friedman Memorial Airport, Hailey,
Idaho. Midwest ATC Service, Inc., operates a control tower at Friedman
Memorial Airport with an associated airport traffic area (ATA).
Airspace Reclassification, which became effective September 16, 1993,
discontinued the use of the term ``airport traffic area'' and, for
control zones with operating control towers, replaced it with the
designation ``Class D airspace.'' Only ATA's already designated to
become Class D airspace continued to exist; Friedman Memorial Airport
was not so designated. As a result, the requirement for two-way radio
communication with the control tower at Friedman Memorial Airport
lapsed. The intended effect of this proposal is to provide adequate
Class D airspace to contain IFR operations and continue the two-way
communication requirement at Friedman Memorial Airport.
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
