review of the Bozeman airspace area,
enhances the safety and management of
aircraft operations at the airport.

SUMMARY:
History
On November 16, 2011, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend
and establish controlled airspace at
Bozeman, MT (76 FR 70919). 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 and Class E airspace
designations are published in paragraph
5000, 6005 and 6006, respectively, of
FAA Order 7400.9V dated August 9,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:13 Feb 17, 2012
Jkt 226001
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by
modifying Class D airspace, and Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Bozeman,
Gallatin Field Airport, Bozeman, MT.
Additional controlled airspace is
necessary to accommodate aircraft using
the ILS LOC standard instrument
approach procedures at the airport.
Also, this action establishes Class E En
Route Domestic airspace extending
upward from 1,200 feet above the
surface to allow vectoring IFR aircraft
from En Route airspace to the airport.
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 creates
additional controlled airspace at
Bozeman, Gallatin Field Airport,
Bozeman, MT.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by
amending Class E airspace designated as
an extension to Class C airspace area for
the City of Colorado Springs Municipal
Airport, Colorado Springs, CO. Airspace
reconfiguration is necessary due to the
decommissioning of the Black Forest
TACAN. Also, the geographic
coordinates of the airport will be
updated to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database. This action is
necessary for the safety and
management of IFR operations.
The FAA has determined this
regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which
