SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority for This Rulemaking
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 amends
Class E airspace at Mahlon Sweet Field
Airport, Eugene, OR, to ensure the
safety and management of aircraft
within the National Airspace System.
History
The FAA Aeronautical Information
Services branch found the Class E
surface area airspace at Mahlon Sweet
Field Airport, Eugene, OR, as published
in FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
requires NOTAM part-time status to
avoid overlap with the part-time Class D
surface area airspace at the same airport.
The FAA inadvertently removed the
NOTAM language from the regulatory
text of the Class E surface area airspace.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6002 of FAA
Order 7400.11A dated August 3, 2016,
and effective September 15, 2016, which
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designations
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.
Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document amends FAA Order
7400.11A dated August 3, 2016, and
effective September 15, 2016, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designations
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by
adding the following language to the
legal description of Class E surface area
airspace at Mahlon Sweet Field Airport,
Eugene, OR that reads, ‘‘This Class E
airspace is effective during the specific
dates and times established in advance
by a Notice to Airmen. The effective
date and time will thereafter be
continuously published in the Chart
Supplement.’’. This is an administrative
change and does not affect the
boundaries, altitudes, or operating
requirements of the airspace, therefore,
notice and public procedure under 5
U.S.C. 553(b) is unnecessary.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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
promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this
action qualifies for categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental
Policy Act in accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’
paragraph 5–6.5a. This airspace action
is not expected to cause any potentially

History
On March 06, 2017, the FAA

at Grayling Airport, Grayling, AK.
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
proposal to the FAA. Two comments
supporting the proposed rule were
received from Taylor Emmerich and H
T.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016,
and effective September 15, 2016, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
