Amendment of Class E Airspace; Gadsden, AL, 13670 [2010-6277]

Download as PDF 13670 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 55 / Tuesday, March 23, 2010 / Rules and Regulations amending Class E airspace for the Dumas, TX area, adding additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to accommodate SIAPs at Moore County Airport, Dumas, TX. This action also updates the geographic coordinates of Moore County Airport to coincide with the FAA’s National Aeronautical Charting Office. This action is necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. 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 amends controlled airspace at Moore County Airport, Dumas, TX.
