Subject: PROPOSED CLASS C AIRSPACE DESIGNATION SURROUNDING LONG BEACH AIRPORT – POTENTIAL IMPACT ON RANCHO PALOS

As you may already know, The FAA conducted public meetings in Long Beach on June 22 and 23, 2010 to present a proposed change of the airspace surrounding the Long Beach Airport (LGB) to a Class C designation and receive public comments. At the request of City Staff, the FAA has agreed to extend the public comment deadline to September 21, 2010. Based upon preliminary inquiries with the FAA, the public meetings serve to gather facts and public comments pursuant to the regulatory process that could possibly lead to an airspace change surrounding LGB. The FAA will consider the comments prior to making a decision whether to move forward with the proposed LGB airspace change. If the FAA decides to move forward, the process will include the issuance of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, followed by a public comment process prior to a final decision to issue a rule to change the LGB airspace. The process could take up to a couple years before any rulemaking is finalized.

Staff will agendize the matter for the Regular Council meeting on September 7, 2010 with the expectation to present a draft comment letter to the FAA that could be approved by the City Council and signed by the Mayor. We would attach the written comments received by the public through the date of the City’s comment letter at that time.
