    ACTION: Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM).

    SUMMARY: On February 4, 1997, the FAA published a Notice of Proposed 
    Rulemaking (NPRM) which proposed to modify the Phoenix (PHX), AZ, Class 
    B airspace area. Specifically, that action proposed to: Reconfigure 
    several area boundaries; create new areas; and raise and/or lower the 
    floors of several of the existing areas. In the NPRM, several subareas 
    of the PHX Class B airspace area were inadvertently plotted and 
    described using incorrect bearings from the Phoenix Very High Frequency 
    Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC). This document 
    corrects that error and amends the proposed legal description of the 
    PHX Class B airspace area by changing the incorrect bearings to reflect 
    the actual intentions of the FAA.
    
    DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 22, 1997.
    
    ADDRESSES: Send comments on the proposal in triplicate to the Federal 
    Aviation Administration, Office of the

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    Comments Invited
    
        The comment period for the NPRM for the PHX Class B airspace area 
    modification expired on May 2, 1997. However, interested parties are 
    invited to comment on the changes to the NPRM as detailed in this SNPRM 
    by submitting such written data, views, or arguments as they may 
    desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the views 
    and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing 
    reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are 
    specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic, 
    environmental, and energy-related aspects of the changes to the 
    proposal as presented in this SNPRM. Communications should identify the 
    airspace docket number and be submitted in triplicate to the address 
    listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of 
    their comments on this notice must submit with those comments a self-
    addressed, stamped postcard on which the following statement is made: 
    ``Comments to Airspace Docket No. 94-AWA-1.'' The postcard will be 
    date/time stamped and returned to the commenter. All communications 
    received on or before the specified closing date for comments will be 
    considered before taking action on the proposed rule. The proposal 
    contained in this notice may be changed in light of comments received. 
    All comments submitted will be available for examination in the rules 
    docket both before and after the closing date for comments. A report 
    summarizing each substantive public contact with FAA personnel 
    concerned with this rulemaking will be filed in the docket.
    
    Availability of NPRM's
    
        Any person may obtain a copy of this SNPRM by submitting a request 
    to the Federal Aviation Administration, Office of Air Traffic Airspace 
    Management, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591, or by 
    calling (202) 267-8783. Communications must identify the notice number 
    of this SNPRM. Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for 
    future NPRM's should call the FAA's Office of Rulemaking, (202) 267-
    9677, for a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed 
    Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application 
    procedure.
    
    Background
    
        On February 4, 1997, the FAA proposed to modify the PHX Class B 
    airspace area (62 FR 5188). The NPRM proposed to reconfigure several 
    area boundaries; create new areas; and raise and/or lower the floors of 
    several of the existing areas. On April 2, 1997, the FAA reopened the 
    comment period (62 FR 15635) at the request of several user 
    organizations as additional time was necessary to fully analyze the 
    proposal and make comments. The comment period closed on May 2, 1997.
        The FAA has subsequently discovered that several subareas of the 
    PHX Class B airspace area were inadvertently plotted and described 
    using incorrect bearings from the Phoenix VORTAC.
        On aeronautical charts, bearings to or from a point are labeled 
    relative to magnetic north. In airspace legal descriptions, however, 
    the true north equivalent of each bearing is published. In the Phoenix, 
    AZ, area, the variance between magnetic north and true north is 
    approximately 12 deg.; therefore, to convert a bearing from magnetic to 
    true, one must add 12 deg..
        With regard to subareas D, H, I, J, and K of the proposed modified 
    PHX Class B airspace area, bearings intended as magnetic were 
    erroneously plotted and published as true; no conversions were made. 
    This error resulted in bearings, and geographical coordinates derived 
    therefrom, being plotted 12 deg. counterclockwise, relative to the 
    Phoenix VORTAC, from their intended positions.
        The purpose of this document is to correct the proposed legal 
    description of the PHX Class B airspace area to reflect the actual 
    intentions of the FAA. Only those subareas of the PHX Class B airspace 
    area affected by the error are addressed in this document.
        The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
    American Datum 83. Class B airspace areas are published in paragraph 
    3000 of FAA Order 7400.9D dated September 4, 1996, and effective 
    September 16, 1996, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 
    71.1. The Class B airspace area listed in this document would be 
    published subsequently in the Order.
    
    The Proposal
    
        On February 4, 1997, the FAA proposed to modify the PHX Class B 
    airspace area. This document proposes to alter the February 4, 1997, 
    proposal by amending the legal description of certain subareas of the 
    PHX Class B airspace area to reflect the actual intentions of the FAA. 
    Specifically, this action proposes to alter the February 4, 1997, 
    proposal by changing the bearings from the Phoenix VORTAC which are 
    used to describe subareas D, H, I, J, and K.
        This proposal would change each affected bearing by adding 12 deg. 
    to the previously published bearing; this reflects the conversion 
    factor from magnetic to true which was previously omitted. The result 
    of adding 12 deg. to each affected bearing would be to shift subareas 
    I, J, K, and the eastern portion of H, 12 deg. clockwise relative to 
    the PHX VORTAC.
        The practical effects of this change would be to (1) eliminate 
    approximately 23 square miles of airspace north of PHX, in the vicinity 
    of Sky Ranch Carefree Airport, from the previous proposal to modify the 
    PHX Class B airspace area; and (2) to add to the previous proposal 
    approximately 23 square miles of airspace south of PHX in the area 
    southwest of Bapchule, AZ.
        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 proposed 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.
