Gentlemen :
The following is a suggested draft proposal of a comment on a
notice of proposed rule making by the F .A.A. and D .O. E .
Background :
The Department of Energy/D .O. E. / wants to create a prohibited
airspace covering approximately 80 square miles centered around
the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory to an altitude of 3000 feet
M. S. L . If this proposal is adopted by the F .A.A. , it would
virtually cripple the Livermore airport and eliminate the pre-
cision instrument landing facility there .
As a result Buchannan Field can expect to experience an increase
in traffic , based aircraft , training flights , increase in ambient
noise polution , etc .
For the above reasons , the A.A.C . felt that it should be recom-
mended to the supervisors that they comment on the proposal .
The F .A.A. in the course of its rule making process solicit' com-
ments from all interested parties . Public comments received at
various hearings have been unanimously negative !
Written comments should be submitted in triplicate before July 7 ,
1990 to the following address ;
