14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 99-ASO-27]
Amendment of Class D Airspace; Jacksonville Whitehouse NOLF, FL
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action amends the description of the Class D airspace at
Jacksonville Whitehouse NOLF, FL, by removing reference to
Jacksonville, Cecil Field NAS, FL, Class D airspace area. The U.S. Navy
has discontinued operations at NAS Cecil Field. The Jacksonville, FL,
Port Authority has opened a contract airport traffic control tower at
the airport; therefore the Class D airspace area has been renamed
Jacksonville Cecil Field, FL.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, February 24, 2000.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy B. Shelton, Manager, Airspace
Branch, Air Traffic Division, Federal Aviation Administration, P.O. Box
20636, Atlanta, Georgia 30320; telephone (404) 305-5627.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
The U.S. Navy has discontinued operations at NAS Cecil Field. The
Jacksonville, FL, Port Authority has opened a contract airport traffic
control tower at the Airport and the Class D airspace area has been
renamed Jacksonville Cecil Field, FL. Therefore, the Jacksonville
Whitehouse NOLF, FL, Class D airspace must be amended. This rule will
become effective on the date specified in the EFFECTIVE DATE section.
Since this action is technical in nature and does not change the
airspace design and, therefore, has no impact on the users of the
airspace, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
unnecessary.
The Rule
This amendment to Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) amends Class D airspace at Jacksonville Whitehouse NOLF,
FL.
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.
