SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On May 23, 2014, the FAA published
in the Federal Register a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to
establish Class D airspace and amend
Class E airspace at Allen C Perkinson
Blackstone Army Airfield, Blackstone,
VA, (79–29696). Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments
on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received.
Class D and E airspace designations
are published in Paragraphs 5000 and
6005, respectively, of FAA Order
7400.9Y, dated August 6, 2014, and
effective September 15, 2014, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class D and E airspace
designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in the
Order.

The Rule
This amendment to Title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
establishes Class D airspace within a
4.2-mile radius of Allen C Perkinson
Blackstone Army Airfield, Blackstone,
VA, and amends Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface within a 6.7-mile radius of
the airfield, to support the operation of
the new air traffic control tower. Also,
the geographic coordinates of the
airfield are adjusted to be in concert
with the FAA’s aeronautical database.
Additionally, this action amends the
Class D description by adding the
exclusion of that airspace within
Restricted Area R–6602A and the
Pickett 1 and 2 Military Operations
Areas during the time those areas are
active. Provisions to ensure the
deconfliction between military activities
and arrivals and departures at Allen C.
Perkinson Blackstone Army Airfield
will be specified in a Letter of
Agreement between Air Traffic Control
and the military using agencies.
Except for the changes noted above,
this rule is the same as published in the
NPRM.
The FAA has determined that this
regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which
frequent and routine amendments are
necessary to keep them operationally
current, is non-controversial and
unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore, (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 only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when
E:\FR\FM\16SER1.SGM
16SER1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 179 / Tuesday, September 16, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
promulgated, does 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 United States Code.
Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the
authority of 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 airspace necessary to ensure the
safety of aircraft and the efficient use of
airspace. This regulation is within the
scope of that authority as it adds and
amends controlled airspace at Allen C.
Perkinson Blackstone Army Airfield,
Blackstone, VA.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this
action qualifies for categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental
Policy Act in accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’
paragraph 311a. This airspace action is
not expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts, and
no extraordinary circumstances exist
that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment
