SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: History On August 22, 2011, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace at Luray, VA (76 FR 52292). 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 of the airport needed to be adjusted. This action makes that adjustment. 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 the Order. The Rule This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:44 Nov 25, 2011 Jkt 226001 PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Luray, VA, to provide the controlled airspace required to accommodate the new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures developed for Luray Caverns Airport. This action also adjusts the geographic coordinates of the airport to be in concert with the FAAs aeronautical database. This action is necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. 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 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 Luray Caverns Airport, Luray, VA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The City of Tacoma has requested to place the South 11th Street ‘‘Murray Morgan’’ Bridge in the closed or down position and to not open the bridge for vessel traffic to facilitate a major rehabilitation project on the bridge. The South 11th Street Bridge crosses City Waterway mile 0.6 at Tacoma, WA. The South 11th Street Bridge is also known as the Murray Morgan Bridge and City Waterway is also known as Thea Foss Waterway. The South 11th Street Bridge is a vertical lift bridge. During this deviation the bridge will be placed in the close or down position. There will be a debris containment system attached to the underside of the bridge for the duration of construction activities. A minimum vertical clearance of 57 feet above mean high water will be provided beneath the bridge and the attached debris containment system, at all time during the deviation period. Vessels which do not require a bridge opening may continue to transit beneath the bridge during this closure period. Under normal operations the bridge operates under 33 CFR 117.1061 which requires a two hour notice for an opening and allows the bridge to not open during morning and afternoon rush hours. This current deviation states the lift span of the 11th Street South Bridge (Murray Morgan Bridge) across City Waterway (Thea Foss Waterway), mile 0.6, need not open from 8 a.m. November 14, PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 72839 2011 through 6 p.m. April 30, 2012; except as otherwise outlined in this article and through ongoing coordination with waterway users. The bridge will be able to open during this maintenance period for emergent situations provided 12 hours of advance notification of an opening is given. The bridge will be placed in the open position: November 24–27, 2011; December 24, 2011 through January 1, 2012, and either April 14–15, 2012 or April 21–22, 2012, to be coordinated with the local waterway users. The bridge will also be opened during an additional weekend in January, February, and March to be determined in coordination with local waterway users. In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. Dated: November 14, 2011. Randall D. Overton, Bridge Administrator.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On August 22, 2011, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace at Luray, VA 
(76 FR 52292). 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 of the airport needed to be 
adjusted. This action makes that adjustment. 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 the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface at Luray, VA, to provide the controlled airspace required 
to accommodate the new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System 
(GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures developed for Luray 
Caverns Airport. This action also adjusts the geographic coordinates of 
the airport to be in concert with the FAAs aeronautical database. This 
action is necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at 
the airport.
    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 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 Luray Caverns Airport, Luray, VA.
