Amendment of Class E Airspace; Forest City, IA, 68683-68684 [2012-27836]
Download as PDF
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 222 / Friday, November 16, 2012 / Rules and Regulations
emcdonald on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with RULES
amending Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
to accommodate new standard
instrument approach procedures at
Guthrie County Regional Airport,
Guthrie, IA. Airspace reconfiguration is
necessary due to the decommissioning
of the Guthrie Center NDB and the
cancellation of the NDB approach.
Controlled airspace is necessary for the
safety and management of IFR
operations at the airport. Geographic
coordinates of the airport are also
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 Guthrie County
Regional Airport, Guthrie, IA.
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.

OSHA is confirming the
effective date of its direct final rule that
revises the Head Protection standards
for general industry, shipyard
employment, marine terminals,
longshoring, and construction by
updating the reference to a standard
published by a standards-developing
organization, the American National
Standards Institute. In the June 22,
2012, direct final rule, OSHA stated that
it would withdraw the companion

proposed rule and confirm the effective
date of the direct final rule if the Agency
received no significant adverse
comments. OSHA did not receive
significant adverse comments on the
direct final rule. Therefore, OSHA is
confirming that the direct final rule
became effective on September 20, 2012.
DATES: The direct final rule published
on June 22, 2012 (77 FR 37587), was
effective on September 20, 2012. For the
purposes of judicial review, OSHA
considers November 16, 2012, as the
date of issuance.
ADDRESSES: In compliance with 28
U.S.C. 2112(a), OSHA designates the
Associate Solicitor of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health as the

American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) head protection standard (see 77
FR 37587). In the DFR, OSHA deleted a
reference to ANSI Z89.1–1986, and
replaced it with a reference to ANSI
Z89.1–2009. In addition, in the DFR,
OSHA deleted references to ANSI
Z89.1–1969 and ANSI Z89.2–1971 in its
construction standard at 29 CFR

On August 16, 2012, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend Class E airspace for the
Forest City, IA, area, creating additional controlled airspace at
Forest City Municipal Airport (77 FR 49399) Docket No. FAA-2012-0654.
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 7400.9W dated August 8, 2012, and effective
September 15, 2012, 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 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 Forest City Municipal Airport, Forest City, IA. This
action is necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at
the airport. Geographic coordinates of the Forest City NDB 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
[[Page 68684]]
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 Forest City Municipal Airport,
Forest City, IA.
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
