SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On July 13, 2011, the FAA published
in the Federal Register a notice of
proposed rulemaking to amend
controlled airspace at Glendive, MT (76
FR 41145). Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments
on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received.
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
modifying Class E airspace, extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface,
at Dawson Community Airport, to
accommodate IFR aircraft executing
RNAV (GPS) standard instrument
approach procedures at the airport. This
action is necessary for the safety and
management of IFR operations. Except
for an editorial change in the airspace
designation from [Modify] to [Modified],
this rule is the same as that published
in the notice of proposed rulemaking
July 13, 2011.
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 modifies
controlled airspace at Dawson
Community Airport, Glendive, MT.

comments were received. Subsequent to
publication, the FAAs Aeronautical
Products office made further
adjustments to the geographic
coordinates listed in the regulatory text,
and these are included in this
rulemaking.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6002 and 6005,
respectively, 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
modifying Class E surface airspace, and
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface, at Tonopah
Airport, Tonopah, NV, to accommodate
IFR aircraft executing new RNAV (GPS)
standard instrument approach
procedures at the airport. Also, the
geographic coordinates of the airport are
updated to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database. Additionally, the
latitude and longitude coordinates in
the text of Class E airspace listed under
paragraph 6005 are adjusted to be in
concert with the FAA’s aeronautical
database. This action is necessary for
the safety and management of IFR
operations. With the exception of
editorial changes and the changes noted
above, this rule is the same as that
proposed in the notice of proposed
rulemaking July 8, 2011.
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
