14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 95-ASO-11]
Proposed Establishment of Class D and Class E2 Airspace;
Lawrenceville, GA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice proposes to establish Class D airspace at
Lawrenceville, GA. A non-federal control tower is being commissioned at
the Lawrenceville/Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field Airport. Class D
airspace is required when the control tower is open to accommodate
current Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and for
instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport. This action
would also establish Class E2 airspace when the tower is closed and
approach control service is provided by Atlanta Tower.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 7, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Send comments on the proposal in triplicate to: Federal
Aviation Administration, Docket No. 95-ASO-11, Manager, System
Management Branch, ASO-530, P.O. Box 20636, Atlanta, Georgia 30320.
The official docket may be examined in the Office of the Assistant
Chief Counsel for Southern Region, Room 550, 1701 Columbia Avenue,

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class D and Class E2
airspace at Lawrenceville, GA. A non-federal control tower is being
commissioned at the Lawrenceville/Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field
Airport. Class D airspace is required when the control tower is open to
accommodate current SIAPs and IFR operations at the airport. This
action would also establish Class E2 airspace when the tower is closed
and approach control service is provided by Atlanta Tower. Class D
airspace designations and Class E airspace areas designated as a
surface area for an airport are published in Paragraphs 5000 and 6002
respectively of FAA Order 7400.9B dated July 18, 1994, and effective
September 16, 1994, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.
The Class D and E airspace designations listed in this document would
be published subsequently in the Order.
The FAA has determined that this proposed 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 11044; 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, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
