SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On April 15, 2009, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace at Ada, OK, adding additional controlled airspace at Ada Municipal Airport, Ada, OK (74 FR 17439, Docket No. FAA–2009–0051). 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 E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9S signed October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 2008, 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 PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 31173 amending Class E airspace at Ada, OK, adding additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Ada Municipal Airport, Ada, OK, for the safety and management of IFR operations. This action also updates the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA’s National Aeronautical Charting Office. 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. Therefore, this regulation: (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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 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 additional controlled airspace at Ada Municipal Airport, Ada, OK.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On Wednesday, January 21, 2009, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to establish area navigation route Q–42 (74 FR 3468). Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were received. In the NPRM, the latitude/longitude for the MAALS waypoint was listed as lat. 40°19′16″ N., long. 76°16′08″ W. The position has since been updated in the National Airspace System Resources (NASR) database as lat. 40°19′19″; N., long. 76°16′11″ W. This is a minor refinement of the position that does not alter the alignment of the route. With the exception of the editorial change discussed above, this amendment is the same as that proposed in the NPRM. The Rule This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing high altitude area navigation route Q–42 between the Kirksville, MO, VORTAC and the ELIOT, PA, navigation fix. The new route will enhance the flow of air traffic in a major transit corridor, parallel to J– 80, and traversing airspace assigned to the New York, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Chicago and Kansas City Air Route Traffic Control Centers. High altitude RNAV routes are published in paragraph 2006 of FAA Order 7400.9S signed October 3, 2008 and effective October 31, 2008, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The RNAV route listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

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 and 311b.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 15, 2009, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace at Ada, OK, 
adding additional controlled airspace at Ada Municipal Airport, Ada, OK 
(74 FR 17439, Docket No. FAA-2009-0051). 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 E 
airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 
7400.9S signed October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 2008, 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 amending Class E airspace at Ada, OK, adding additional 
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at 
Ada Municipal Airport, Ada, OK, for the safety and management of IFR 
operations. This action also updates the geographic coordinates of the 
airport to coincide with the FAA's National Aeronautical Charting 
Office.
    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. 
Therefore, this regulation: (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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 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 additional controlled airspace at Ada Municipal Airport, 
Ada, OK.
