Amendment of Class D Airspace; Missoula, MT
agency: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
action: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
summary: This action amends the Missoula, Montana, Class D airspace
from full-time to part-time. It will correct that part of the airspace
description which was inadvertently omitted during the airspace
reclassification process. Airspace reclassification, in effect as of
September 16, 1993, has discontinued the use of the terms ``airport
traffic area'' and ``control zones'' with operating control towers,
replacing them with the designation ``Class D airpace.'' This amendment
brings publications up to date giving continuous information to the
aviation public.
effective date: 0901 u.t.c., August 18, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On March 21, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending the Missoula,
Montana, airspace designation (59 FR 13260). Interested parties were
invited to participate in the rulemaking proceeding by submitting
written comments on the proposal. No comments were received.
During the airspace reclassification process (57 FR 38962; August
27, 1992) the language designating the Class D airspace as part time
was inadvertently omitted. This action corrects that omission. Airspace
reclassification, in effect as of September 16, 1993, has discontinued
use of the terms ``airspace traffic area'' and ``control zone'' with
operating control towers, and replaced them with the designation
``Class D airspace.'' The coordinates for this airspace docket are
based on North American Datum 83. Class D airspace is 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 Federal Aviation Regulations amends
Class D airspace at Missoula, Montana. 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
