Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 100 / Tuesday, May 24, 2011 / Proposed Rules
the Administrator finds necessary for
safety in air commerce. This regulation
is within the scope of that authority
because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on
products identified in this rulemaking
action.
category, as identified in Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 757–27A0152, Revision 1,
dated June 30, 2010.
Regulatory Findings
We determined that this proposed AD
would not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This
proposed AD would not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on
the relationship between the national
Government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify this proposed regulation:
(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866,
(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation
in Alaska, and
(4) Will not have a significant
economic impact, positive or negative,
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
Unsafe Condition
(e) This AD was prompted by numerous
reports of unintended lateral oscillations
during the final approach, just before
landing. We are issuing this AD to reduce the
chance of unintended lateral oscillations near
touchdown, which could result in loss of
lateral control of the airplane, and
consequent airplane damage or injury to
flight crew and passengers.

also would update the geographic
coordinates of the Columbus Lawson
AAF.

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 proposed
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 proposed regulation is
within the scope of that authority as it
proposes to amend Class D and E
airspace at Lawson AAF, Columbus,
GA.
The Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend
Class D airspace and Class E surface
airspace at Lawson AAF, Columbus,
GA. The volume of air traffic has
decreased at Columbus Metropolitan
Airport, Columbus, GA, therefore
reference to the Class C airspace area is
being removed from the description.
The geographic coordinates for Lawson
AAF also would be adjusted to coincide
with the FAAs aeronautical database.
Class D airspace designations and
Class E surface airspace designations are
published in Paragraphs 5000 and 6002,
respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9U,
dated August 18, 2010, and effective
September 15, 2010, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace
designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in the
Order.
The FAA has determined that this
proposed 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
proposed rule, when promulgated,
would not have a significant economic

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend
Class E airspace at Lakeland, FL to
provide controlled airspace required to
support the new standard instrument
approach procedures for Lakeland
Linder Regional Airport. The existing
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface would be
modified for the safety and management
of IFR operations.
Class E airspace designations are
published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010,
and effective September 15, 2010, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designation
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.
The FAA has determined that this
proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical
regulations for which frequent and

therefore, (1) Is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under Executive

Since this is a routine matter that will
only affect air traffic procedures and air
navigation, it is certified that this
proposed rule, when promulgated,
would 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

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 proposed rule, when promulgated, would 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 proposed 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 proposed regulation is within the scope
of that authority as it proposes to amend Class D and E airspace at
Lawson AAF, Columbus, GA.
