[Airspace Docket No. 98-ASW-31]

Revision of Class D Airspace; Dallas NAS, Dallas, TX

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; withdrawal.

SUMMARY: This action withdraws the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published in the Federal Register on June 9, 1998, which proposed to revise Class D airspace at Dallas Naval Air Station (NAS), Dallas, TX. The NPRM proposed to provide Class D airspace, controlled airspace extending upward from the surface to and including 3,000 feet mean sea level (MSL), in the vicinity of Grand Prairie Municipal Airport, Grand Prairie, TX. Upon reevaluation, the FAA has determined that the proposed airspace revision would adversely affect the traffic flow at Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW), Dallas Love, and Arlington airports, causing unnecessary delays. Accordingly, the NPRM is withdrawn.

DATES: The notice of proposed rulemaking published at 63 FR 31384 is withdrawn on September 25, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Donald J. Day, Airspace Branch, Federal Aviation Administration, Southwest Region, Fort Worth, TX 76193-0530; telephone 817-222-5593.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 9, 1998 (63 FR 31384), an NPRM was published in the Federal Register proposing to revise Class D airspace at Dallas NAS, Dallas, TX. The intended effect of the NPRM was to provide Class D airspace, controlled airspace extending upward from the surface to and including 3,000 feet MSL, at Grand Prairie Municipal Airport, Grand Prairie, TX. Upon reevaluation, the FAA has determined that the proposed airspace revision would adversely affect the traffic flow at DFW, Dallas Love, and Arlington airports, causing unnecessary delays. Accordingly, the NPRM published in the Federal Register on June 9, 1998, is withdrawn. Since this action only withdraws an NPRM, it is neither a proposed nor a final rule and therefore is not covered under Executive Order 12866, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, or DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979).

Withdrawal of Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, Airspace Docket No. 98-ASW-31, as published in the Federal Register on June 9, 1998 (63 FR 31384), is withdrawn.

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40103, 40113, 40120; E.O. 10854; 24 FR 9565, 3 CFR, 1959-1963 Comp., p. 389.

Issued in Fort Worth, TX, September 14, 1998. Albert L. Viselli, Acting Manager, Air Traffic Division, Southwest Region.
