    Related Rulemaking
    
        On May 21, 1970, the FAA published the Designation of Federal 
    Airways, Controlled Airspace, and Reporting Points Final Rule (35 FR 
    7782). This rule provided for the establishment of Terminal Control 
    Airspace areas (now known as Class B airspace areas).
        The Terminal Control Airspace area (TCA) program was developed to 
    reduce the potential for midair collision in the congested airspace 
    surrounding airports with high density air traffic by providing an area 
    wherein all aircraft are subject to certain operating rules and 
    equipment requirements.
        The density of traffic and the type of operations being conducted 
    in the airspace surrounding major terminals increases the probability 
    of midair collisions. In 1970, an extensive study found that the 
    majority of midair collisions occurred between a general aviation (GA) 
    aircraft and an air carrier or military aircraft, or another GA 
    aircraft. The basic causal factor common to these conflicts was the mix 
    of aircraft operating under visual flight rules (VFR) and aircraft 
    operating under instrument flight rules (IFR). Class B airspace areas 
    provide a method to accommodate the increasing number of IFR and VFR 
    operations. The regulatory requirements of these airspace areas afford 
    the greatest protection for the greatest number of people by giving air 
    traffic control increased capability to provide aircraft separation 
    service, thereby minimizing the mix of controlled and uncontrolled 
    aircraft.
        The standard configuration of these airspace areas contains three 
    concentric circles centered on the primary airport extending to 10, 20, 
    and 30 nautical miles (NM), respectively. The standard vertical limit 
    of these airspace areas normally should not exceed 10,000 feet MSL, 
    with the floor established at the surface in the inner area and at 
    levels appropriate to the containment of operations in the outer areas. 
    Variations of these criteria may be utilized contingent on the terrain, 
    adjacent regulatory airspace, and factors unique to the terminal area.
        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 7400.9E dated September 10, 1997, and effective 
    September 16, 1997, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 
    section 71.1. The Class B airspace area listed in this document would 
    be published subsequently in the Order.
        On June 21, 1988, the FAA published the Transponder With Automatic 
    Altitude Reporting Capability Requirement Final Rule (53 FR 23356). 
    This rule requires all aircraft to have an altitude encoding 
    transponder when operating within 30 NM of any designated TCA (now 
    known as Class B airspace area) primary airport from the surface up to 
    10,000 feet MSL. This rule excluded those aircraft that were not 
    originally certificated with an engine-driven electrical system (or 
    those that have not subsequently been certified with such a system), 
    balloons, or gliders.
        On October 14, 1988, the FAA published the Terminal Control Area 
    Classification and Terminal Control Area Pilot and Navigation Equipment 
    Requirements Final Rule (53 FR 40318). This rule, in part, requires the 
    pilot-in-command of a civil aircraft operating within a Class B 
    airspace area to hold at least a private pilot certificate, except for 
    a student pilot who has received certain documented training.
        On December 17, 1991, the FAA published the Airspace 
    Reclassification Final Rule (56 FR 65638). This rule discontinued the 
    use of the term ``Terminal Control Area'' and replaced it with the 
    designation ``Class B airspace area.'' This change in terminology is 
    reflected in the remainder of this NPRM.
    
    The Proposal
    
        This action proposes to modify the Salt Lake City Class B airspace 
    area. The FAA periodically reviews existing airspace areas to determine 
    whether there is an operational need to modify the area. These proposed 
    modifications reflect input from system users regarding operational 
    needs, limitations, and local geographical anomalies. The proposed 
    changes would reduce the lateral boundaries of Areas A and H, and 
    redesign Area M of the Salt Lake City Class B airspace as follows:
        Area A. The current boundary of Area A is not easily identifiable 
    by geographical landmarks and also serves as a barrier to GA aircraft 
    transiting north-south along Interstate 15 (I-15), requiring pilots to 
    obtain a clearance to enter Class B airspace. Further, the portion of 
    Area A east of I-15 provides no operational advantage to ATC. This 
    action proposes to redefine the boundary of Area A using easily
    
    [[Page 41745]]
    
    identifiable geographical landmarks that would allow those aircraft 
    that do not desire to enter the Class B airspace area a means of 
    transition along the east side of I-15.
        Area H. The proposed design of this area, i.e., moving the existing 
    boundary approximately two miles to the east, would provide additional 
    maneuvering area for VFR aircraft wishing to remain clear of the Class 
    B airspace area. Further, the portion of Area H southwest of the Salt 
    Lake City airport provides no operational advantage to ATC.
        Area M. The proposed modification to Area M is both a reduction to 
    the east and an expansion to the north of the current Class B airspace 
    area. Currently, IFR aircraft arriving from the north are held at 
    10,000 feet MSL until crossing the Class B boundary into Area M, at 
    which time these aircraft must rapidly descend in order to arrive at 
    the FANDS Intersection at 9,000 feet MSL, the normal altitude for 
    transition to the ILS/DME Runway 16R approach. This action proposes an 
    expansion of approximately two miles on the north side of the current 
    Class B airspace area that would allow aircraft to make a more gradual 
    descent to the FANDS Intersection.
        The overall effect of these proposed changes is a net reduction in 
    Salt Lake City Class B airspace area which would enhance the safe, 
    efficient movement of both VFR and IFR aircraft into, out of, through, 
    and around the Salt Lake Valley area.
    
    Regulatory Evaluation Summary
    
        Proposed changes to Federal regulations must undergo several 
    economic analyses. First, Executive Order 12866 directs that each 
    Federal agency shall propose or adopt a regulation only upon a reasoned 
    determination that the benefits of the intended regulation justify its 
    costs. Second, the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 requires agencies 
    to analyze the economic effect of regulatory changes on small entities. 
    Third, the Office of Management and Budget directs agencies to assess 
    the effect of regulatory changes on international trade. In conducting 
    these analyses, the FAA has determined that this proposed rule: (1) 
    would generate benefits that justify its costs and is not ``a 
    significant regulatory action'' as defined in the Executive Order; (2) 
    is not significant as defined in Department of Transportation's 
    Regulatory Policies and Procedures; (3) would not have a significant 
    impact on a substantial number of small entities; (4) would not 
    constitute a barrier to international trade; and (5) would not impose a 
    significant intergovernmental or private sector mandate. Therefore, the 
    requirements of Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 do 
    not apply. These analyses are summarized here in the preamble.
        This regulatory evaluation analyzes the potential costs and 
    benefits of the NPRM to amend part 71. This proposed action would 
    modify the Salt Lake City Class B airspace area by reducing portions of 
    Areas A and H, and by expanding part of Area M. These changes would 
    provide GA aircraft enhanced accessibility to transition outside the 
    Class B airspace area, and it would redefine the lateral boundaries 
    along identifiable ground features.
        The FAA has determined that the proposed modification of the Salt 
    Lake City Class B airspace area would not result in any additional cost 
    to either aircraft operators or the agency. This proposed action was 
    prompted by a change in aircraft operations into and out of Salt Lake 
    City International Airport, and it would enhance the Salt Lake City 
    Airport Traffic Control Tower/Terminal Radar Approach Control 
    capability to monitor and control IFR and VFR traffic in the Class B 
    airspace.
        This proposed action would provide benefits for systems users and 
    the FAA by enhancing operational efficiency in the form of improving 
    air traffic flow, and would not result in any reduction to aviation 
    safety in the terminal area. The benefits of the proposed rule would 
    stem from the creation of additional operating room for VFR traffic 
    outside of the modified Salt Lake City Class B airspace area. The 
    airspace modification proposed by this action would enhance aviation 
    safety in the Salt Lake City Class B airspace area.
        The FAA has determined that the implementation of the proposed rule 
    would not impose any additional costs on either the agency or aircraft 
    operators. This proposed rule would not impose any additional 
    administrative costs for personnel, facilities, or equipment on the 
    FAA. Another potential cost of this proposal is the cost associated 
    with the revision of aeronautical charts to reflect the modified 
    boundaries of the Salt Lake City Class B airspace area. The FAA has 
    determined that these proposed modifications would be incorporated 
    during routine charting cycles. The costs associated with printing 
    aeronautical charts are a normal operating expense. Since the FAA 
    requires the public to use only current charts, pilots would not incur 
    any additional costs for obtaining revised Class B airspace charts.
        The FAA has determined that aircraft operators would not incur any 
    additional navigational or equipment costs, as a result of the 
    reduction in Area A and Area H lateral boundaries, and expansion of 
    Area M. The proposed modification of the controlled airspace would 
    reduce the two lateral boundaries in subareas A and H. The reduction of 
    the subareas would not impose any additional avionics equipment or 
    circumnavigation costs. The expansion of Area M in the north would be 
    insignificant in distance (2 to 6 NM); therefore, the alteration would 
    not impose additional circumnavigation costs on operators. Overall, the 
    Class B airspace area would be reduced in size.
        The proposed rule would not impose any additional administrative 
    costs on the FAA for personnel, facilities, or equipment. The proposed 
    alteration of Areas A, H, and M would reduce the overall size of the 
    Class B airspace area. This proposed action would decrease workload 
    demands on current FAA personnel and equipment, and enhance aviation 
    safety. The FAA maintains that changes proposed in this NPRM would 
    allow ATC to concentrate current resources onto those subareas with 
    greater activity and enhance safety and efficiency.
        In view of the zero cost of compliance, combined with benefits of 
    enhanced operational efficiency, the FAA has determined that this 
    proposed rule would be cost-beneficial.
    
    Initial Regulatory Flexibility Determination
    
        Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA) was enacted by Congress to 
    ensure that small entities (small business and small not-for-profit 
    government jurisdictions) are not unnecessarily and disproportionately 
    burdened by Federal regulations. The RFA, which was amended May 1996, 
    requires regulatory agencies to review rules that may have ``a 
    significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
    entities.'' The Small Business Administration suggests that ``small'' 
    represent the impacted entities with 1,500 or fewer employees.
        Since this NPRM would only potentially affect those GA aircraft 
    operators who fly under visual flight rules in accordance with 14 CFR, 
    part 91 as individuals, rather than as small entities, no small 
    entities would be impacted. For this reason, the FAA has determined 
    that this NPRM would not result in a significant economic impact on a 
    substantial number of small entities. Therefore, a regulatory 
    flexibility analysis is not required under the terms of the RFA.
    
    [[Page 41746]]
    
    International Trade Impact Assessment
    
        The NPRM would neither constitute a barrier to international trade, 
    for the export of American goods and services to foreign countries nor 
    for the import of foreign goods and services into the United States. 
    The NPRM would not impose costs on aircraft operators or aircraft 
    manufacturers in the U.S. or foreign countries. The proposed 
    modifications to the Salt Lake City Class B airspace would only affect 
    GA aircraft utilizing U.S. VFR procedures.
    
    Unfunded Mandates Assessment
    
        Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (the Act), 
    enacted as Pub. L. 104-4 on March 22, 1995, requires each Federal 
    agency, to the extent permitted by law, to prepare a written assessment 
    of the effects of any Federal mandate in a proposed or final agency 
    rule that may result in the expenditure of $100 million or more 
    adjusted annually for inflation in any one year by State, local, and 
    tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector. Section 
    204(a) of the Act, 2 U.S.C. 1534(a), requires the Federal agency to 
    develop an effective process to permit timely input by elected officers 
    (or their designees) of State, local and tribal governments on a 
    proposed ``significant intergovernmental mandate.'' A ``significant 
    intergovernmental mandate'' under the Act is any provision in a Federal 
    agency regulation that would impose an enforceable duty upon State, 
    local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, (of $100 million 
    adjusted annually for inflation) in any one year. Section 203 of the 
    Act, 2 U.S.C. 1533, which supplements section 204(a), provides that 
    before establishing any regulatory requirements that might 
    significantly or uniquely affect small governments, the agency shall 
    have developed a plan that among other things, provides for notice to 
    potentially affected small governments, if any, and for a meaningful 
    and timely opportunity to provide input in the development of 
    regulatory proposals.
        Since this proposed rule would not impose any costs on either 
    private or public entities, it does not contain neither a Federal 
    intergovernmental nor private sector mandate. Therefore, the 
    requirements of Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 do 
    not apply.
    
    Paperwork Reduction Act
    
        This proposed rule contains no information collection requests 
    requiring approval of the Office of Management and Budget pursuant to 
    the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3507 et seq.).
