SUMMARY:
jdjones on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with RULES
History
On March 23, 2011, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend
Class E airspace for Duluth, MN,
creating additional controlled airspace
at Duluth International Airport (76 FR
16348) Docket No. FAA–2011–0123.
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
proposal to the FAA. No comments
were received. 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 designations
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by
amending Class E airspace, as an
extension to a Class D or Class E surface
area; and Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface,
for new standard instrument approach
procedures at Duluth International
Airport, Duluth, MN. This action is
necessary for the safety and
management of IFR operations at the
airport. Geographic coordinates will
also be updated to coincide with the
FAA’s aeronautical database.
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 for Duluth International
Airport, Duluth, MN.
