SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES History The FAA received a request from the Honolulu Control Facility to clarify the legal description of the existing Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface. The current legal description is vague and confusing; this action is in response to that request. VerDate Mar<15>2010 13:31 Sep 01, 2011 Jkt 223001 Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9V dated August 9, 2011, and effective September 15, 2011, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in that Order. This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by amending the legal description of the Class E airspace area extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface for the Hawaiian Islands, HI. The legal description has been clarified to avoid confusion on the part of pilots flying in the Hawaiian Islands, HI. This is an administrative change and does not affect the boundaries, altitudes, or operating requirements of the airspace, therefore, notice and public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. 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 amends PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 controlled airspace for the Hawaiian Islands, HI.

Honolulu Control Facility (HCF) to better clarify the legal description 
of controlled airspace designated as Class E airspace extending upward 
from 1,200 feet above the surface for the Hawaiian Islands, HI. This 
action enhances the safety and management of aircraft operations.

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, December 15, 2011. 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The FAA received a request from the Honolulu Control Facility to 
clarify the legal description of the existing Class E airspace 
extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface. The current legal 
description is vague and confusing; this action is in response to that 
request.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of 
FAA Order 7400.9V dated August 9, 2011, and effective September 15, 
2011, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 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 amending the legal description of the Class E airspace area 
extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface for the Hawaiian 
Islands, HI. The legal description has been clarified to avoid 
confusion on the part of pilots flying in the Hawaiian Islands, HI. 
This is an administrative change and does not affect the boundaries, 
altitudes, or operating requirements of the airspace, therefore, notice 
and public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
    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 amends 
controlled airspace for the Hawaiian Islands, HI.
