SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On April 1, 1999, a proposal to amend 14 CFR Part 71 to revoke the Class D airspace at Dallas NAD, Dallas, TX, was published in the Federal Register (64 FR 15709). The proposal was to revoke the Class D airspace area at Dallas NAS, Dallas, TX. This action is prompted by the closure of Dallas NAS. The United States Navy no longer requires use of the airspace. The intended effect of this proposed is to revoke the Class D airspace at Dallas NAS since it is no longer needed.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments to the proposal were received. The rule is adopted as proposed.
The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American Datum 83. Designated Class D airspace areas are published in paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 74000F, dated September 10, 1998, and effective September 16, 1998, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in the order.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR Part 71 revokes the Class D airspace at Dallas NAD, Dallas, TX.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations that requires frequent and routine amendments 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 effect 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.
