Abstract
This action establishes Class D airspace at Marquette, MI, and modifies Class E airspace at Marquette, MI. The opening of a Federal Contract Tower is being planned for the Sawyer International Airport. Class D airspace is required during the hours the control tower is operating. Sawyer International Airport is served by Federal Aviation Regulations Part 121 (14 CFR part 121) air carrier operations. During periods when the control tower is closed, controlled airspace extending upward from the surface is needed to contain aircraft executing instrument flight procedures and provide a safer operating environment. This action establishes Class D airspace, and modifies Class E airspace for Sawyer International Airport.
