SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On October 31, 2011, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend
controlled airspace at Hawthorne, CA
(76 FR 67103). 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 D airspace and Class E airspace
designations are published in paragraph
5000 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
Part 71.1. The Class D airspace and
Class E airspace designations listed in
this document will be published
subsequently in that Order.

[Docket No. FAA–2011–0610; Airspace
Docket No. 11–AWP–10]
Revision of Class D and Class E
Airspace; Hawthorne, CA
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This action revises Class D
and Class E airspace at Jack Northrop
Field/Hawthorne Municipal Airport,
Hawthorne, CA. Additional controlled
airspace is needed to accommodate
aircraft departing and arriving under
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) at the
airport. Also, the airspace designations
are revised to show a new city location.
This action is a result of the FAA’s
biennial review, along with a study of
the Jack Northrop Field/Hawthorne
Municipal Airport airspace area that
further enhances the safety and
management of aircraft operations at the
airport.
DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, May
31, 2012. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by
reference action under 1 CFR Part 51,
subject to the annual revision of FAA
erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:45 Feb 10, 2012
Jkt 226001
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by
revising Class D airspace and Class E
surface airspace designated as an
extension to Class D surface area at Jack
Northrop Field/Hawthorne Municipal
Airport, Hawthorne, CA, creating
additional airspace necessary for IFR
departures and arrivals at the airport.
This action, initiated by FAA’s biennial
review of the Jack Northrop Field/
Hawthorne Municipal Airport airspace
area, and based on results of a study
conducted by the Los Angeles Visual
Flight Rules (VFR) Task Force, and the
Los Angeles Class B Workgroup,
enhances the safety and management of
aircraft operations at the airport. This
action also revises the airspace
designation for Class D and Class E
airspace, changing the city location from
Los Angeles, CA, to Hawthorne, CA.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
7525
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 revises
controlled airspace at Jack Northrop
Field/Hawthorne Municipal Airport,
Hawthorne, CA.

I. Background
2. Section 215 of the Federal Power
Act (FPA) requires a Commissioncertified Electric Reliability
Organization (ERO) to develop
mandatory and enforceable Reliability
Standards, which are subject to
Commission review and approval.3
Specifically, the Commission may
approve, by rule or order, a proposed
Reliability Standard or modification to a
Reliability Standard if it determines that
the Standard is just, reasonable, not
unduly discriminatory or preferential,
and in the public interest.4 Once
approved, the Reliability Standards may
be enforced by the ERO, subject to
Commission oversight, or by the
Commission independently.5
3. Pursuant to section 215 of the FPA,
the Commission established a process to
select and certify an ERO,6 and
subsequently certified NERC.7 On April
4, 2006, NERC submitted to the
Commission a petition seeking approval
of 107 proposed Reliability Standards.
On March 16, 2007, the Commission
issued a Final Rule, Order No. 693,8
approving 83 of the 107 Reliability
Standards, including Reliability
