Proposed Modification of the St. Louis Class B Airspace Area; MO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action proposes to modify the St. Louis, MO, (STL) Class 
B airspace area. Specifically, this action proposes airspace changes to 
contain large, turbine-powered aircraft operations to and from the new 
Runway 11/29 at the Lambert-St. Louis International Airport (KSTL), St. 
Louis, MO. The FAA is proposing this action to enhance safety and 
improve the management of aircraft operations in the KSTL terminal 
area. Further, this effort supports the FAA's national airspace 
redesign goal of optimizing terminal and en route airspace areas to 
reduce aircraft delays and improve system capacity.

Background

    In August 1979, the FAA issued a final rule establishing the St. 
Louis, MO, Terminal Control Area (TCA). This area was later re-
classified as a Class B airspace area as a result of the Airspace 
Reclassification Final Rule (56 FR 65638); however, this final rule did 
not alter the dimensions of the original TCA.
    As part of the FAA's Operational Evolution Plan, a new runway is 
under construction at KSTL. The new runway (Runway 11/29) is designed 
to provide a 51% increase in airport capacity and is scheduled to be 
commissioned in April 2006. Aircraft conducting instrument operations 
to this new runway will frequently need to intercept instrument 
approaches outside the St. Louis Class B airspace area if the current 
Class B airspace area is not expanded. The proposed Class B airspace 
modification will address this matter.

Public Input

    On February 26, 2004, informal public workshops were held at the 
St. Charles Municipal Airport, St. Charles, MO; the Creve Coeur 
Airport, Maryland Heights, MO; and the St. Louis-Downtown Airport, 
Cahokia, IL. These public workshops and meetings allowed interested 
parties an opportunity to present their views and offer suggestions 
regarding planned modifications to the STL Class B airspace area. All 
comments received during the workshops were considered and were then 
reviewed by the ad hoc committee.

Ad hoc Committee

    The ad hoc committee, sponsored by the Missouri Department of 
Transportation (MDOT) Office of Aviation, was comprised of 
representatives from the MDOT, Aircraft Owners and Pilots association 
(AOPA), United States Pilots Association, Missouri Pilots Association, 
Greater St. Louis Business Aviation Association, Emerson Flight 
Operations, St. Charles County Airport, St. Charles Municipal Airport, 
Washington Airport, Scott Air Force Base, Mid-America Airport, St. 
Louis Downtown Airport, Creve Coeur Airport, St. Louis Metro-East 
Airport-Shafer Field, and the FAA's Gateway TRACON. The ad hoc 
committee met on October 2, 2003; January 22, 2004; and September 23, 
2004. During these meetings, the FAA presented preliminary plans to 
modify the STL Class B airspace area and participants presented 
comments and recommendations regarding the planned modifications. All 
comments and recommendations received from the ad hoc committee were 
considered by the FAA in developing the modifications proposed in this 
NPRM.

[[Page 70559]]

    The following is a summary of the final recommendations received 
from the ad hoc committee:
    1. Limit the floor of the Class B airspace area over the Creve 
Coeur Airport to 1,700 feet mean sea level (MSL) and modify Class B 
airspace area boundaries to include geographical references where 
possible.
    2. Expand Area A to the north/northwest of KSTL to contain large, 
turbine-powered aircraft departing KSTL. This expansion will not 
require moving the existing VFR flyway located to the north of the 
expansion.
    3. Expand Area A to the west of KSTL and lower the vertical limits 
of Area B to the west of KSTL to contain large, turbine-powered 
aircraft conducting approaches to Runway 11 and departing Runway 29. 
This will require lowering the altitude of VFR flyways to the west of 
KSTL from below 2,000 feet MSL to below 1,700 feet MSL.
    4. Lower a portion of Area D to the south of KSTL to contain large, 
turbine-powered aircraft that turn south after departing Runway 29.
    5. Lower the floor of Area E from 3,500 feet MSL to 3,000 feet MSL 
to contain large, turbine-powered aircraft on a base leg to Runway 30R 
and conducting approaches to Runway 30L and Runway 30R at KSTL.
    6. Change the boundary of the arrival extensions in the vicinity of 
the St. Louis Metro East/Schafer Airport.
    7. Include an area in the vicinity of Foristell, Missouri, in the 
Class B airspace area.
    All of the above ad hoc committee's recommendations were adopted.

Informal Airspace Meetings

    To provide an additional opportunity for the public to express 
their opinion on the planned modifications, the FAA held three informal 
airspace meetings. The first two meetings were held on October 19, 2005 
in Chesterfield, MO and the third meeting was held in Collinsville, IL, 
on October 20, 2005. As a result of these meetings, the FAA received 
seven written comments. Three of the written comments were supportive 
of planned modifications to the STL Class B airspace area; four of the 
written comments expressed concerns with regard to the planned 
modifications.
    Of the four commenters opposed to the planned modifications, three 
commenters raised concerns about lowering the floor of Area A from 
2,000 feet to 1,700 feet MSL. They stated that this change will 
adversely impact aircraft operations at the St. Charles Municipal 
Airport (3SQ). This matter was discussed at the informal airspace 
meetings and had been previously discussed by the ad hoc committee at 
the public workshops noted above. Because 3SQ is located 7.5 nautical 
miles (NM) from the approach end of Runway 11 and approximately 1.5 NM 
north of the extended final approach course, the FAA has determined 
that lowering the floor of Area A to 1,700 feet MSL is necessary to 
contain large, turbine-powered aircraft conducting approach procedures 
to the new Runway 11 within the STL Class B airspace area. 
Additionally, it should be noted that large, turbine-powered aircraft 
will not be operating at the base altitude of the St. Louis Class B 
airspace area. Also, because the traffic pattern altitude at 3SQ is 
1,100 feet MSL, aircraft transiting the area may continue their 
practice of flying over the 3SQ traffic pattern at 1,600 feet MSL, 
while remaining clear of the St. Louis Class B airspace area.
    Two commenters also expressed concern about the expansion of the 
Class B Surface area to the west-northwest of KSTL and the loss of the 
Missouri River as a geographical boundary. The FAA has determined that 
the modifications to the west-northwest of KSTL are necessary to 
contain large, turbine-powered aircraft arriving Runway 11 and 
departing Runway 29 within the St. Louis Class B Airspace. While the 
Missouri River will no longer define a boundary of the St. Louis Class 
B airspace area, the FAA believes that pilots may utilize Highway 94 or 
Route H as a geographical reference to identify the location of that 
boundary as well as using the Cardinal VOR/DME.
    One of commenters, the City Administrator for the City of St. 
Charles also expressed concerns about increased noise and potential 
structural damage to the city's historical district. These 
environmental concerns were addressed in the Final Environmental Impact 
Statement for the St. Louis-Lambert International Airport Expansion 
Plan and are categorically excluded from Class B airspace actions by 
FAA Order 1050.1E, Policies and Procedures for Considering 
Environmental Impacts.
    In addition to the written comments, one news helicopter pilot 
verbally expressed concerns over access to areas within the proposed 
surface area. FAA representatives attending the meetings expressed a 
willingness to work with local helicopter operators to mitigate this 
impact.
    The chairman of the ad hoc committee was briefed on comments 
received as a result of the informal airspace meetings. He stated that 
comments received would not require any further action on behalf of the 
ad hoc committee.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to modify the STL Class B airspace area. 
Specifically, this action (depicted on the attached chart) proposes to 
expand the Area A, Area B, Area C, and Area D to improve the 
containment of large, turbine-powered aircraft operating within the STL 
Class B airspace area.
    The following are the proposed revisions for each area of the STL 
Class B airspace area:
    Area A. Expand the lateral limits of Area A to the northwest and 
southwest of KSTL.
    Area B. Expand the lateral limits of Area B to the west-northwest 
of KSTL.
    Area C. Modify the lateral limits of Area C by eliminating a 
portion to the west-northwest of KSTL that will be included in new Area 
B.
    Area D. Modify Area D by reducing the lateral limits to that 
portion of the current Area D that lies within the 10-NM arc of 
Cardinal (Very High Frequency Omni-directional Range (VOR)/Distance 
Measuring Equipment (DME) to the south of KSTL and lower the floor from 
3,000 feet MSL to 2,500 feet MSL.
    Area E. Expand Area E to include the area between the 10-NM and 15-
NM DME arcs of the Cardinal VOR/DME and lower the floor from 3,500 feet 
MSL to 3,000 feet MSL.
    Area F. Reduce the lateral limits of Area F to two areas between 
the 15-NM and 20-NM DME arcs of the Cardinal VOR/DME and lower the 
floor from 4,500 feet MSL to 3,500 feet MSL.
    Area G. Expand those portions of airspace that were eliminated from 
the current Area F and re-designate that airspace as Area G. The 
altitude would remain from 4,500 feet MSL to and including 8,000 feet 
MSL.
    Area H. Re-designate a portion of the current Area G as a new Area 
H. The altitude would remain from 5,000 feet MSL to and including 8,000 
feet MSL.
    Area I. Designate a new Area I between the 20-NM and 30-NM arcs of 
the Cardinal VOR/DME to the west of KSTL.
    These modifications would improve the management of aircraft 
operations in the STL terminal area and enhance safety by expanding the 
dimensions of the STL Class B airspace area to protect large, turbine-
powered aircraft arriving and departing KSTL. Additionally, this 
proposed action supports various efforts to enhance the efficiency and 
capacity of the National Airspace System.

Regulatory Evaluation Summary

    Changes to Federal regulations must undergo several economic 
analyses. First, Executive Order 12866 directs that each Federal agency 
shall propose or adopt a regulation only upon a reasoned determination 
that the benefits of the intended regulation justify its costs. Second, 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 requires agencies to analyze the 
economic impact of regulatory changes on small entities. Third, the 
Trade Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. 2531-2533) prohibits agencies from 
setting standards that create unnecessary obstacles to the foreign 
commerce of the United States. In developing U.S. standards, this Trade 
Act requires agencies to consider international standards and, where 
appropriate, to be the basis of U.S. standards. Fourth, the Unfunded 
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4) requires agencies to 
prepare a written assessment of the costs, benefits, and other effects 
of proposed or final rules that include a Federal mandate likely to 
result in the expenditure by State, local, or tribal governments, in 
the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more 
annually (adjusted for inflation).
    In conducting these analyses, FAA has determined this rule: (1) Has 
benefits that justify its costs, is not a ``significant regulatory 
action'' as defined in section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, and is 
not ``significant'' as defined in Department of Transportation's 
Regulatory Policies and Procedures; (2) will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities; (3) will not 
reduce barriers to international trade; and does not impose an unfunded 
mandate on State, local, or tribal governments, or on the private 
sector. These analyses, available in the docket, are summarized below.
    This NPRM would modify the St. Louis, MO, Class B airspace area. 
The proposed rule would expand the eastern boundary of the airspace 
area, and alter several of the existing areas within St. Louis, MO, 
Class B airspace area.
    The NPRM would generate benefits for system users and supports the 
national airspace redesign goal of the FAA by maximizing the efficiency 
of terminal and en route airspace areas to reduce aircraft delays, 
improve system capacity, and enhance safety. The cost of 
circumnavigation is considered to be small. Thus, the FAA has 
determined this proposed rule would be cost-beneficial.

Total Costs and Benefits of This Rulemaking

    The NPRM would generate benefits for air carriers and the FAA in 
the form of enhanced operational efficiency and simplified navigation 
of the STL terminal area. However, general aviation (GA) operators may 
experience a marginal increase in circumnavigation costs due to the 
proposed expansion of the airspace area.
    The proposed rule would not impose any additional administrative 
costs on the FAA for either personnel or equipment.

Who Is Potentially Affected by This Rulemaking?

    This proposed rulemaking affects anyone who would operate in STL 
Class B airspace area, and specifically those aircraft with large, 
turbine-powered engines.

Initial Regulatory Flexibility Determination

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 establishes ``as a principle 
of regulatory issuance that agencies shall endeavor, consistent with 
the objective of the rule and of applicable statutes, to fit regulatory 
and informational requirements to the scale of the business, 
organizations, and governmental jurisdictions subject to regulation.'' 
To achieve that principle, the Act requires agencies to solicit and 
consider flexible regulatory proposals and to explain the rationale for 
their actions. The Act covers a wide-range of small entities, including 
small businesses, not-for-profit organizations and small governmental 
jurisdictions.
    Agencies must perform a review to determine whether a proposed or 
final rule will have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities. If the determination is that it will, the 
agency must prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis (RFA) as 
described in the Act.
    However, if an agency determines that a proposed or final rule is 
not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities, section 605(b) of the 1980 Act provides that 
the head of the agency may so certify and an RFA is not required. The 
certification must include a statement providing the factual basis for 
this determination, and the reasoning should be clear.
    This proposed rule may impose some circumnavigation costs on 
individuals operating in the STL terminal area, but the proposed rule 
would not impose any costs on small business entities. Individual 
operators of GA aircraft are not considered as small business entities. 
As such, they are not included when performing a regulatory flexibility 
analysis. Flight schools are considered small business entities. 
However, the FAA assumes that they provide instruction in aircraft 
equipped to navigate in Class B airspace given they currently provide 
instruction in the STL terminal area. Therefore, these small entities 
should not incur any additional costs as a result of the proposed rule. 
Accordingly, pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 
605(b), the Federal Aviation Administration certifies that this 
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities. The FAA solicits comments from 
affected entities with respect to this finding and determination and 
requests that all comments be accompanied by clear documentation.

International Trade Impact Assessment

    The Trade Agreement Act of 1979 prohibits Federal agencies from 
engaging in any standards or related activities that create unnecessary 
obstacles to the foreign commerce of the United States. Legitimate 
domestic objectives, such as safety, are not considered unnecessary 
obstacles. The statute also requires consideration of international 
standards and where appropriate, that they be the basis for U.S. 
standards.
    In accordance with the above statute, the FAA has assessed the 
potential effect of this proposed rule and has determined that it would 
have only a domestic impact and therefore create no obstacles to the 
foreign commerce of the United States.

Unfunded Mandates Assessment

    The Unfunded Mandate Reform Act of 1995 (the Act) is intended, 
among other things, to curb the practice of imposing unfunded Federal 
mandates on State, local, and tribal governments. Title II of the Act 
requires each Federal agency to prepare a written statement assessing 
the effects of any Federal mandate in a proposed or final agency rule 
that may result in an expenditure of $100 million or more (adjusted 
annually for inflation) in any one year by State, local, and tribal 
governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector. The FAA 
currently

[[Page 70561]]

uses an inflation-adjusted value of $120.7 million in lieu of $100 
million. This proposed rule does not contain such a mandate. The 
requirements of Title II do not apply.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-
511), there are no requirements for information collection associated 
with this action.

Conclusion

    In view of the small compliance cost to circumnavigate the 
controlled airspace by operators of non-compliant aircraft of the 
proposed rule and enhancements to aviation safety and operational 
efficiency, the FAA has determined the proposed rule would be cost-
beneficial.
