14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 97-ASO-12]
Removal of Class D and E2 Airspace; Lawrenceville, GA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This amendment removes Class D and E2 surface area airspace at
Lawrenceville, GA. The required weather observations and reporting
criteria for Lawrenceville/Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field Airport are
not being met. Therefore, the Class D and E2 surface area airspace for
the airport must be revoked.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, July 17, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Benny L. McGlamery, System Management Branch, Air Traffic Division,
Federal Aviation Administration, P.O. Box 20636, Atlanta, Georgia

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
Weather observations are taken by an automated weather observing
system at the Lawrenceville/Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field Airport.
However, the weather observations are not transmitted, as required for
surface area airspace, to the ATC facilities having jurisdiction over
the surface area. Therefore, the Class D and E2 airspace must be
revoked. This rule will become effective on the date specified in the
DATE section. Since this action removes the Class D and E2 surface area
airspace, and as a result, eliminates the impact of Class D and E2
airspace on users of the airspace in the vicinity of the Lawrenceville/
Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field Airport, notice and public procedure
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
The Rule
This amendment to Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) removes Class D and E2 airspace at Lawrenceville, GA.
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.
