14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No 94-ACE-05]
Modification of Class D Airspace; Waterloo, IA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies the official description of the Class D
airspace associated with the Waterloo Municipal Airport, Waterloo,
Iowa, by adding the phrase: ``This Class D airspace area is effective
during the specific dates and times established in advance by a Notice
to Airmen. The effective date and time will thereafter be continuously
published in the Airport/Facility Directory.'' On September 16, 1993,
Airspace Reclassification discontinued the use of the terms ``control
zone'' and ``airport traffic area.'' Airspace designated from the
surface for an airport where there is an operating control tower is now
Class D airspace. The intended effect of this action is to allow a
variation of Class D airspace effective times to coincide with the
operating hours of the Waterloo Municipal Airport Traffic Control Tower
(ATCT), Waterloo, Iowa.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, April 28, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
Airspace Reclassification, effective September 16, 1993, has
discontinued the use of the terms ``control zone'' and ``airport
traffic area.'' Airspace designated from the surface for an airport
where there is an operating control tower is now Class D airspace.
Prior to September 16, 1993, the Waterloo control zone was in effect 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. However, the Waterloo ATCT was a part-time
facility with the hours published in the North Central Airport/Facility
Directory. The intended effect of this action is to allow a variation
to the Class D airspace effective times to coincide with the operating
hours of the Waterloo ATCT.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
modifies the Class D airspace at the Waterloo Municipal Airport,
Waterloo, Iowa. The purpose of this amendment is to allow a variation
to the Class D airspace effective times to coincide with the operating
hours of the Waterloo ATCT. I find that notice and public procedure
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary because this action is a minor
technical amendment in which the public is not particularly interested.
The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American
Datum 83. Class D airspace areas designated as surface areas for
airports 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 amended
Class D airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations that needs frequent and
routine amendments 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 impact on a substantial number of
small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
