ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: This action amends the legal description of the VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) Federal Airways V–50, V– 251, and V–313 in the vicinity of Decatur, IL. The FAA is taking this action because the Decatur VHF omnidirectional range/tactical air navigation (VORTAC), included as part of the V– 50, V–251, and V–313 route structure, is being renamed the Adders VORTAC. DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, September 23, 2010. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: jdjones on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with RULES The Rule This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by amending the legal description of VOR Federal Airways V–50, V–251, and V– 313, in the vicinity of Decatur, IL. Currently, V–50, V–251, and V–313 have Decatur, IL, [VORTAC] included as part of their route structure. The Decatur VORTAC and the Decatur Airport share the same name and facility identifier (DEC), but are not co-located and are greater than 5 nautical miles apart. To eliminate the possibility of confusion, and a potential flight safety issue, the Decatur VORTAC will be renamed the Adders VORTAC and assigned a new facility identifier (AXC). All VOR Federal Airways with Decatur, IL, [VORTAC] included in their legal description will be amended to reflect the Adders, IL, [VORTAC] name change. The name change of the VORTAC will coincide with the effective date of this rulemaking action. VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:25 Jul 26, 2010 Jkt 220001 Since this action merely involves editorial changes in the legal descriptions of VOR Federal Airways, and does not involve a change in the dimensions or operating requirements of that airspace, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. Domestic VOR Federal Airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order 7400.9T, signed August 27, 2009, and effective September 15, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The domestic VOR Federal Airways listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. 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 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 the 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 revises the legal description of three VOR Federal Airways in the vicinity of Decatur, IL.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    Northwest Florida-Panama City International Airport, a new airport 
for Panama City, FL, opened on May 23, 2010. Therefore, the Panama 
City-Bay County Airport was closed effective at 10 p.m. on May 22, 
2010. The associated SIAPs and controlled airspace must be removed in 
conjunction with the airport closure. As a result, this action will 
remove the Class D, E4, and E5 airspace for the Panama City-Bay County 
Airport, Panama City, FL. This rule will become effective on the date 
specified in the DATES section. Since this action eliminates the impact 
of controlled airspace on users of the National Airspace System in the 
vicinity of the Panama City-Bay County Airport, Panama City, FL, notice 
and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. Class D and 
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraphs 5000, 6004 
and 6005 respectively of FAA Order 7400.9T, dated August 27, 2009, and 
effective September 15, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 
CFR 71.1. The Class D and E airspace designations listed in this 
document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 removes the Class D, E4 and E5 airspace at Panama City-Bay 
County Airport, Panama City, FL. Controlled airspace is no longer 
needed as the airport has closed.
    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, is 
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative 
comments. 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 removes controlled airspace at Panama City-Bay County Airport, 
Panama City, FL.
