The incorporation by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 of the Federal Aviation Administration Order 7400.9T, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, signed August 27, 2009, and effective September 15, 2009 is amended as follows: Federal Aviation Administration Paragraph 5000 Class D airspace. * * Establishment of Class E Airspace; Bryce Canyon, UT This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E surface airspace, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, at Bryce Canyon Airport, to accommodate IFR aircraft executing new RNAV GPS SIAPs at the airport. This action is necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. The FAA has determined 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 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 discusses 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On November 18, 2009, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
NPRM to establish Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface at Bryce Canyon, UT (74 FR 59492). The comments received 
prompted the FAA on April 26, 2010, to publish in the Federal Register 
a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking to establish Class E 
surface airspace at Bryce Canyon, UT (75 FR 21532). Interested parties 
were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting 
written comments on the proposal to the FAA. One comment was received 
in favor of the airspace change.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 and 
6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9T signed August 27, 2009, and 
effective September 15, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 
CFR part 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this 
document will be published subsequently in that Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by establishing Class E surface airspace, and Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, at Bryce Canyon 
Airport, to accommodate IFR aircraft executing new RNAV GPS SIAPs at 
the airport. This action is necessary for the safety and management of 
IFR operations at the airport.
    The FAA has determined 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 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 discusses 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 establishes 
controlled airspace at Bryce Canyon Airport, Bryce Canyon, UT.
