14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 99-AGL-32]
Modification of the Legal Description of the Class E Airspace;
Cincinnati, OH
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies the legal description of the Class E
airspace at Cincinnati Municipal Airport Lunken Field, OH. The legal
description for this airspace includes a reference to excluding that
airspace within the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport,
KY, Class C airspace area. This Class C airspace designation was
revoked, and effective at 0901 UTC, July 15, 1999, a Class B airspace
area for the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport was
established. The reference to Class C airspace in the legal description
for the Class E airspace at Cincinnati Municipal Airport Lunken Field
will be invalid, and this action changes that reference to Class B
airspace.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, November 4, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Thursday, June 3, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71
to modify the legal description of the Class E airspace at Cincinnati
Municipal Airport Lunken Field, OH (64 FR 29817). The proposal was to
correct the legal description of the existing controlled airspace to
reflect the correct reference to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky
International Airport, KY, Class C airspace area. Effective July 15,
1999, this Class C airspace was revoked and a Class B airspace area for
the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport was established
(Airspace Docket No. 93-AWA-5, final rule published in the Federal
Register on November 30, 1998, 63 FR 65972, effective date delayed on
December 14, 1998, 63 FR 68675, and confirmation of effective date on
April 12, 1999, 64 FR 17934). 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 E airspace designated as a surface area
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 E airspace designation listed in
this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies the legal description of
the Class E airspace at Cincinnati Municipal Airport Lunken Field, OH,
by changing the reference to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky
International Airport, KY, Class C airspace area to Class B. 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 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).
