Modification of Class D Airspace; Oscoda, MI
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action revokes Class D airspace for Oscoda, MI. Oscoda
Wurtsmith Airport does not have an operating control tower, therefore,
the Oscoda, MI controlled airspace designation was appropriately
corrected to Class E2 in a previous docket action, and the reference to
Class D is not required. The intended affect of this action is to
provide the accurate description of controlled airspace for Oscoda, MI.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, October 13, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert J. Woodford, Air Traffic
Division, System Management Branch, AGL-530, Federal Aviation

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On May 24, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revoke Class D airspace at
Oscoda, Michigan (59 FR 26766). Oscoda Wurtsmith Airport does not have
an operating control tower, therefore, the Oscoda, MI controlled
airspace designation was appropriately corrected to Class E2 in a
previous docket action, and the reference to Class D is not required.
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.
The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. Class D airspace designations are 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 the Federal Aviation Regulations
revokes Class D airspace at Oscoda, Michigan. Oscoda Wurtsmith Airport
does not have an operating control tower, therefore, the Oscoda, MI
controlled airspace designation was appropriately corrected to Class E2
in a previous docket action, and the reference to Class D is not
required.
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
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
