14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 99-AGL-14]
Modification of Class D Airspace and Class E Airspace;
Wilmington, OH
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies Class D airspace and Class E airspace at
Wilmington, OH. This action corrects technical errors in the legal
descriptions of the Class D airspace and the Class E airspace extension
to the Class D airspace for Airborne Airpark, and amends the Class E
surface area for the airport to include the Class E airspace extension.
The purpose of these actions is to make technical corrections to the
[[Page 28094]]
airspace legal descriptions in order to make the Class D airspace and
Class E airspace for the airport consistent with each other, and to
provide adequate controlled airspace for instrument approach procedures
when the airport traffic control tower (ATCT) is closed.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, September 9, 1999.

Division, Airspace Branch, AGL-520, Federal Aviation Administration,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Wednesday, March 3, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part
71 to modify Class D airspace and Class E airspace at Wilmington, OH
(64 FR 10241). The proposal was to correct the legal description of the
existing controlled airspace to reflect the actual configuration of
that controlled airspace.
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. Class D airspace
designations are published in paragraph 5000, Class E airspace areas
designated as an extension to a Class D surface area are published in
paragraph 6004, and Class E airspace areas designated as a surface area
for an airport are published in paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9F
dated September 10, 1998, and effective September 16, 1998, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace and
Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies Class D airspace and
Class E airspace at Wilmington, OH, to make technical corrections to
the legal descriptions of the Class D airspace and the Class E airspace
extension to the Class D airspace for Airborne Airpark, and by amending
the Class E surface area for the airport to include the Class E
extension to be surface area. The area will be depicted on appropriate
aeronautical charts.
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.
Therefore, this regulation--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) 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
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
Adoption of the Amendment
In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation
Administration amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows:
