Amendment of Class D and Class E
Airspace; Baltimore, MD
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This action amends Class D
and Class E airspace at Baltimore, MD,
as the Martin Non-Directional Beacon
(NDB) has been decommissioned and
new Standard Instrument Approach
Procedures have been developed at
Martin State Airport. This action also
updates the geographic coordinates of
the Baltimore VORTAC and makes a
minor adjustment to the geographic
coordinates of the airport. This action
enhances the safety and airspace
management of Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR) operations at the airport.
DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 9,
2012. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by
reference action under title 1, Code of
Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to
the annual revision of FAA Order
7400.9 and publication of conforming
amendments.

History
On August 31, 2011, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to amend Class D and E airspace at
Martin State Airport, Baltimore, MD (76
FR 54153). Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments
on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received. Subsequent to
publication, the FAA found that the
geographic coordinates for Martin State
Airport and navigation aid needed to be
adjusted. This action makes that
adjustment. Class D and E airspace
designations are published in paragraph
5000, 6002, and 6004 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 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
amends Class D airspace and Class E
surface airspace and Class E airspace
designated as an extension to Class D
surface area. Airspace reconfiguration is
necessary due to the decommissioning
of the Martin NDB and cancellation of
the NDB approach, and for continued
safety and management of IFR
operations at the airport. The geographic
coordinates for the Baltimore VORTAC
and Martin State Airport also are
adjusted 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, 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
PO 00000
Frm 00015
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
72837
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
amends controlled airspace at Martin
State Airport, Baltimore, MD.

Adoption of the Amendment:
In consideration of the foregoing, the
