ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This action amends the Class D airspace and establishes Class E airspace at Jacksonville Cecil Field, FL. An evaluation determined the Class D airspace should be modified and a required Class E surface airspace extension be established. This rule increases the safety and efficiency of the National Airspace System enhancing operations with adjacent Jacksonville Whitehouse Naval Out Lying Field (NOLF), Jacksonville Naval Air Station (NAS) and the Jacksonville Herlong Airport. This action additionally supports the Standard Instrument Approach Procedures at Cecil Field by the establishment of a Class E4 airspace extension to the Class D. DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, June 05, 2008. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under title 1, Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with RULES History On December 10, 2007, the FAA published in the Federal Register a NPRM to amend the Class D and E airspace at Jacksonville Cecil Field, FL (72 FR 69640). Airspace evaluation identified the ability to reduce the size of the current Class D airspace while continuing to provide adequate support for the Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SlAP) and by the establishment a Class E surface area at Jacksonville Cecil Field. The airspace was also adjusted to allow neighboring Herlong Airport adequate airspace for its operations and a demarcation line was established between Jacksonville Cecil’s and Jacksonville Whitehouse NOLF’s Class D Airspace. This action VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:34 Apr 14, 2008 Jkt 214001 will establish permanent geographic dimensions for the Class D airspace which will be independent of the surrounding airports Class D/Tower operation. Interested parties were invited to participate in this proposed rulemaking by submitting such written data, views or arguments, as they may have desired on the proposal to the FAA. Minor adjustments were made to the description to enhance charting. No comments objecting to the proposal were received. The Rule This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 modifies Class D airspace and establishes Class E4 airspace at Jacksonville Cecil Field, FL by reducing the Class D airspace area to a 4.3-mile radius of Cecil Field excluding: (1) That airspace within a 1 .8-mile radius of Herlong Airport, (2) that airspace north of the demarcation line between Jacksonville Cecil Field’s and Jacksonville Whitehouse’s Class D airspace, and (3) that airspace designated as the Jacksonville NAS Class D airspace. Additionally, this action provides controlled airspace extending upwards for the surface of the Earth to support the VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Runway (RWY) 9 Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SlAP) at Cecil Field. Class D and E4 airspace designations for airspace areas extending upwards from the surface of the Earth are published in Paragraph 5000 and 6004 of FAA Order 7400.9R, dated August 15, 2007, and effective September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and E4 airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. Agency Findings The regulations adopted herein will not have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among various levels of government. Therefore, it is determined that this final rule does not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. 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. It, therefore, (1) is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 20163 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 will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, will 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 modifies the Class D and establishes Class E4 airspace at Jacksonville Cecil Field.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Section 135.211 was added to Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations on October 10, 1978 (43 FR 46783). Paragraph (a)(2) of this section originally contained a cross-reference to paragraph (f) of 14 CFR 91.116, which addressed the use of radar in instrument approach procedures for landings. On August 18, 1989, 14 CFR part 91 was revised (54 FR 34294). As part of the revision, the information previously contained in § 91.116 transferred to § 91.175. The information formerly in § 91.116(f) became § 91.175(i). A second amendment on that same day amended § 135.211(a)(2) to change the crossreference from § 91.116 to § 91.175 (54 FR 34332). However, the Regional Air Cargo Carriers Association informed the FAA that the reference to paragraph (f) was not changed to paragraph (i), as it should have been. As a result, the current regulations mistakenly refer readers to paragraph (f) of § 91.175, which addresses the minimum weather conditions for takeoffs under instrument flight rules, instead of paragraph (i) of § 91.175, which addresses the use of radar in instrument approach procedures for landings. This inaccurate cross-reference may cause confusion for pilots who are looking for the guidance on the use of radar when landing. Therefore, the FAA is amending § 135.211(a)(2) to correct this crossreference. Technical Amendment This technical amendment will correct the cross-reference in § 135.211(a)(2) to properly refer to § 91.175(i). Justification for Immediate Adoption Because this action corrects an incorrect paragraph reference, the FAA finds that notice and public comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is unnecessary. For the same reason, the FAA finds that good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for making this rule effective upon publication.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On December 10, 2007, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
NPRM to amend the Class D and E airspace at Jacksonville Cecil Field, 
FL (72 FR 69640). Airspace evaluation identified the ability to reduce 
the size of the current Class D airspace while continuing to provide 
adequate support for the Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SlAP) 
and by the establishment a Class E surface area at Jacksonville Cecil 
Field. The airspace was also adjusted to allow neighboring Herlong 
Airport adequate airspace for its operations and a demarcation line was 
established between Jacksonville Cecil's and Jacksonville Whitehouse 
NOLF's Class D Airspace. This action will establish permanent 
geographic dimensions for the Class D airspace which will be 
independent of the surrounding airports Class D/Tower operation.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this proposed 
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views or arguments, as they 
may have desired on the proposal to the FAA. Minor adjustments were 
made to the description to enhance charting. No comments objecting to 
the proposal were received.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 modifies Class D airspace and establishes Class E4 airspace at 
Jacksonville Cecil Field, FL by reducing the Class D airspace area to a 
4.3-mile radius of Cecil Field excluding: (1) That airspace within a 1 
.8-mile radius of Herlong Airport, (2) that airspace north of the 
demarcation line between Jacksonville Cecil Field's and Jacksonville 
Whitehouse's Class D airspace, and (3) that airspace designated as the 
Jacksonville NAS Class D airspace. Additionally, this action provides 
controlled airspace extending upwards for the surface of the Earth to 
support the VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Runway (RWY) 9 Standard 
Instrument Approach Procedure (SlAP) at Cecil Field.
    Class D and E4 airspace designations for airspace areas extending 
upwards from the surface of the Earth are published in Paragraph 5000 
and 6004 of FAA Order 7400.9R, dated August 15, 2007, and effective 
September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. 
The Class D and E4 airspace designations listed in this document will 
be published subsequently in the Order.

Agency Findings

    The regulations adopted herein will not have substantial direct 
effects on the States, on the relationship between the national 
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and 
responsibilities among various levels of government. Therefore, it is 
determined that this final rule does not have federalism implications 
under Executive Order 13132.
    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. 
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 
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will 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 modifies the Class D and establishes Class E4 airspace at 
Jacksonville Cecil Field.
