Upon review, the FAA determined that the proposed rulemaking action is premature in that an existing Dallas/Fort Worth Class B airspace rulemaking action is pending.

History On September 6, 2013, a NPRM was published in the Federal Register proposing to amend the Addison Airport Class D airspace ceiling (78 FR 54795). Subsequent to that publication, the FAA found that references addressing changes or adjustments to air traffic flows in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area are in error and that the proposed action is premature in that a Dallas/Fort Worth Class B airspace rulemaking action is pending. Upon completion of the Dallas/Fort Worth Class B airspace rulemaking action, the FAA will reconsider future action to modify Addison Airport Class D airspace, if warranted.

The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class D airspace from the surface to and including 1,700 feet MSL within a 3.5mile radius of Laguna AAF (Yuma VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:59 Sep 18, 2013 Jkt 229001 Proving Ground), Yuma, AZ, excluding R–2306E and R–2307 when in effect; and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within an 8.8-mile radius of the airfield, with a segment extending from the 8.8-mile radius to 13.5 miles northwest of the airfield. The establishment of an air traffic control tower has made this action necessary and would provide the required controlled airspace for IFR operations at Laguna AAF, (Yuma Proving Ground). Class D airspace and Class E airspace designations are published in paragraphs 5000 and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9X, dated August 7, 2013, and effective September 15, 2013, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR Part 71.1. The Class D airspace and Class E airspace designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in this Order. The FAA has determined this proposed regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this proposed regulation; (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 this proposed rule, when promulgated, would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes the authority for the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency’s authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This proposed regulation is within the scope of that authority as it would establish controlled airspace at Laguna AAF, (Yuma Proving Ground), Yuma, AZ.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class D airspace from the 
surface to and including 1,700 feet MSL within a 3.5-mile radius of 
Laguna AAF (Yuma Proving Ground), Yuma, AZ, excluding R-2306E and R-
2307 when in effect; and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 
feet above the surface within an 8.8-mile radius of the airfield, with 
a segment extending from the 8.8-mile radius to 13.5 miles northwest of 
the airfield. The establishment of an air traffic control tower has 
made this action necessary and would provide the required controlled 
airspace for IFR operations at Laguna AAF, (Yuma Proving Ground).
    Class D airspace and Class E airspace designations are published in 
paragraphs 5000 and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9X, dated 
August 7, 2013, and effective September 15, 2013, which is incorporated 
by reference in 14 CFR Part 71.1. The Class D airspace and Class E 
airspace designation listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in this Order.
    The FAA has determined this proposed regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
Therefore, this proposed regulation; (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 this proposed rule, when 
promulgated, would not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is 
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes 
the authority for the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation 
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority. 
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in 
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the 
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the 
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient 
use of airspace. This proposed regulation is within the scope of that 
authority as it would establish controlled airspace at Laguna AAF, 
(Yuma Proving Ground), Yuma, AZ.
