SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES SUMMARY: History On August 10, 2011, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:15 Dec 13, 2011 Jkt 226001 to amend Class D and Class E airspace at Northeast Philadelphia Airport, North Philadelphia, PA. (76 FR 49383). 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 a typographic error in the regulatory text for the radius of the controlled airspace listed for Class E surface airspace, and makes the correction from a 5-mile radius to a 5.6-mile radius of the airport, and also removes reference to the ceiling level that was cited in error. Also, the geographic coordinates of the airport are adjusted. Class D and E airspace designations are published in paragraphs 5000 and 6002, 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 Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. The Rule This action amends Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend Class D airspace and Class E surface airspace at Northeast Philadelphia Airport, North Philadelphia, PA. The Class D and Class E surface airspace is reconfigured due to the closing of the Willow Grove Naval Air Station and Warminster NAWC. The boundary radius of the controlled airspace listed in the regulatory text for Class E airspace is corrected from a 5-mile radius to a 5.6-mile radius of the airport and reference to the ceiling level listed for Class E airspace is removed. Also, the geographic coordinates of the airport are adjusted to be in concert with the FAAs aeronautical database. This action enhances 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. 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 PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 (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, would 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 Class D and E airspace at Northeast Philadelphia Airport, North Philadelphia, PA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On August 10, 2011, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend Class D and Class E 
airspace at Northeast Philadelphia Airport, North Philadelphia, PA. (76 
FR 49383). 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 a typographic error in the regulatory text for the radius of the 
controlled airspace listed for Class E surface airspace, and makes the 
correction from a 5-mile radius to a 5.6-mile radius of the airport, 
and also removes reference to the ceiling level that was cited in 
error. Also, the geographic coordinates of the airport are adjusted.
    Class D and E airspace designations are published in paragraphs 
5000 and 6002, 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 Class E airspace designations listed in 
this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 to amend Class D airspace and Class E surface airspace at 
Northeast Philadelphia Airport, North Philadelphia, PA. The Class D and 
Class E surface airspace is reconfigured due to the closing of the 
Willow Grove Naval Air Station and Warminster NAWC. The boundary radius 
of the controlled airspace listed in the regulatory text for Class E 
airspace is corrected from a 5-mile radius to a 5.6-mile radius of the 
airport and reference to the ceiling level listed for Class E airspace 
is removed. Also, the geographic coordinates of the airport are 
adjusted to be in concert with the FAAs aeronautical database. This 
action enhances 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. 
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, would 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 Class D and E airspace at Northeast Philadelphia Airport, 
North Philadelphia, PA.
