History Issued in Fort Worth, Texas, on July 25, 2012. David P. Medina, Manager, Operations Support Group, ATO Central Service Center. On May 21, 2012, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend Class E airspace for the Lemmon, SD, area, creating additional controlled airspace at Lemmon Municipal Airport (77 FR 29920) Docket No. FAA–2012– 0391. 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 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. [FR Doc. 2012–18911 Filed 8–2–12; 8:45 am] The Rule BILLING CODE 4910–13–P This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to accommodate new standard instrument approach procedures at Lemmon Municipal Airport, Lemmon, SD. This action is necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. Geographic coordinates are updated to coincide with the FAA’s 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. 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 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 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.

The special local regulation and safety zone regulate the on-water activities associated with the ‘‘2012 America’s Cup World Series’’ regatta scheduled for August 21–26, 2012, and will temporarily restrict vessel traffic in a portion of the San Francisco Bay, prohibit vessels not participating in the America’s Cup sailing events from entering the designated race area, and create a temporary safety zone around racing vessels (77 FR 41902, July 17, 2012). This notice announces the availability of the 2012 program calendar referenced in the rulemaking published in association with the ‘‘2012 America’s Cup World Series’’ regattas. This program calendar is available in the docket, as indicated in the ADDRESSES section, and includes the dates and times that event programming is expected to occur. The Coast Guard may enforce the special local regulation and safety zone as early as noon on any program day. In general, however, the Coast Guard anticipates beginning enforcement approximately one hour before the first scheduled event on each program day, and ending enforcement as soon as possible after the last event on each program day. The Coast Guard will use a Broadcast Notice to Mariners to indicate when the zone is being enforced and when enforcement has ended and normal vessel operations may occur.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On May 21, 2012, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice 
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend Class E airspace for the Lemmon, 
SD, area, creating additional controlled airspace at Lemmon Municipal 
Airport (77 FR 29920) Docket No. FAA-2012-0391. 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 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 action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
Part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface to accommodate new standard instrument approach 
procedures at Lemmon Municipal Airport, Lemmon, SD. This action is 
necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at the 
airport. Geographic coordinates are updated to coincide with the FAA's 
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. 
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 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 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 Lemmon Municipal Airport, Lemmon, 
SD.

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.
