SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES SUMMARY: History On March 22, 2012, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace at Orlando, FL (77 FR 16783). 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 the 3 airports under this designation needed to be adjusted. This action makes that adjustment. Class E airspace VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:40 Jun 08, 2012 Jkt 226001 designations are published in paragraphs 6005 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 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 surface area airspace and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Orlando, FL, to provide the controlled airspace required to accommodate the new Area Navigation Global Positioning System, Standard Instrument Approach Procedures developed for Orland Executive Airport. This action is necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. This action also adjusts the geographic coordinates of Orlando Executive Airport, Orlando International Airport, and Kissimmee Municipal Airport to be in concert with the FAAs 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 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 PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 is within the scope of that authority as it amends controlled airspace at Orlando Executive Airport, Orlando, FL. Environmental Review The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES History After a recent review of aeronautical data, the National Flight Data Center (NFDC) identified seventeen compulsory reporting points published in FAA Order 7400.9V, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, that did not match the geographic position information contained in the FAA’s aeronautical database for the reporting VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:40 Jun 08, 2012 Jkt 226001 points. When these compulsory reporting points were updated in the aeronautical database, the corresponding part 71 amendment actions were not also accomplished, in error. The reporting points include fourteen Domestic reporting points, one Alaskan low altitude reporting point, and two Hawaiian reporting points. To overcome any confusion or flight safety issues associated with conflicting compulsory reporting point information published, the FAA is amending the seventeen part 71 reporting points identified by NFDC. Accordingly, since this is an administrative correction to update compulsory reporting point information currently contained in the FAA’s aeronautical database, notice and public procedures under Title 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. The Rule The FAA amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by amending the geographic position information for fourteen Domestic reporting points, one Alaskan low altitude reporting point, and two Hawaiian reporting points. Specifically, the FAA amends the ALASK, BOGGY, CROAK, DOLPH, HEMLO, HERIN, HOBEE, IDAHO, SEDAR, TITON, TROUT, UTAHS, VERMO, and VIPER Domestic reporting points; the CORVA Alaskan low altitude reporting point; and the BATES and FISHE Hawaiian reporting points in part 71. Domestic Low Altitude Reporting Points, Other Domestic Reporting Points designated at all altitudes, Alaskan Low Altitude Reporting Points, and Hawaiian Reporting Points are listed in paragraph 7001, 7003, 7004, and 7006, 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 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. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of Transportation (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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On March 22, 2012, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace at Orlando, FL 
(77 FR 16783). 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 the 3 airports under this 
designation needed to be adjusted. This action makes that adjustment. 
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraphs 6005 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 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 surface area airspace and Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Orlando, FL, to 
provide the controlled airspace required to accommodate the new Area 
Navigation Global Positioning System, Standard Instrument Approach 
Procedures developed for Orland Executive Airport. This action is 
necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at the 
airport. This action also adjusts the geographic coordinates of Orlando 
Executive Airport, Orlando International Airport, and Kissimmee 
Municipal Airport to be in concert with the FAAs 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 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 Orlando Executive Airport, Orlando, 
FL.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical 
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance 
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and 
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to 
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no 
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an 
environmental assessment.
