Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Class D Airspace Changed Near Miami Exec
The FAA proposes changing Class D airspace around Miami Executive Airport so it would extend from the surface up to 2,500 feet MSL within a 4.3-mile radius of the airport and within 1.2 miles each side of the 267° bearing extending from the 4.3-mile radius to 5.9 miles west of the airport reference point. The rule excludes airspace inside the Miami, FL, Class B area and says the area will be effective at dates/times set by Notice to Airmen and published in the Chart Supplement.
Class E Surface Area Around Miami Exec
The FAA proposes to amend Class E surface airspace for Miami Executive Airport to encompass a radius around the airport (stated in one paragraph as within a 5-mile radius) and to make that surface-area airspace effective during specified dates and times published by Notice to Airmen and in the Chart Supplement. This change is intended to manage IFR operations at the airport.
Class E Airspace (700 ft) & IAF Update
The FAA proposes amending Class E airspace that begins at 700 feet above the surface to cover a 7-mile radius around listed airports (including Miami International and Miami Executive) and to add airspace within 2.4 miles each side of the 267° bearing from the LAYDN initial approach fix (IAF) extending from the 7-mile radius to 7 miles west of the IAF; it also updates the IAF name to LAYDN. The proposal also lists specific adjacent airports (Fort Lauderdale Executive, Pompano Beach Airpark, North Perry) and radius distances (e.g., 6.5-mile radius for some airports).
FAA Says Minimal Small-Business Impact
The FAA certified this proposed rule is routine and 'will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities' under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, and it determined the anticipated impact on the public is minimal. The proposal is not a 'significant regulatory action' under Executive Order 12866.
