Persons interested in being placed on

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking,
(202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory
Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which
describes the application procedure.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 to modify the Nashville
International Airport Class C airspace
area by removing a cutout from the
Class C surface area that excluded the
airspace within a 1.5 NM radius of the
former Cornelia Fort Airpark from the
Class C surface area. The exclusion was
in place to solely accommodate
operations at the Airpark, which was
located about 4 NM north northwest of
Nashville International Airport. The
Airpark is now permanently closed and
the property sold for non-aviation uses.
Since the original purpose of the
exclusion no longer exists, the FAA is
proposing to remove the words ‘‘ * * *
excluding that airspace within a 1.5mile radius of lat. 36°12′00″ N., long.
86°42′10″ W. (in the vicinity of Cornelia
Fort Airpark) * * * ’’ from the Class C
airspace description. This would restore
the Class C surface area to the standard
configuration of a 5 NM radius around
Nashville International Airport and
would enhance the management of
aircraft operations at the airport.
Also, a minor correction would be
made to update the geographic
coordinates of the Nashville
International Airport to reflect the
current information in the FAA’s
aeronautical database. This change
would remove ‘‘lat. 36°07′31″ N., long.
86°40′35″ W.,’’ and insert ‘‘lat. 36°07′28″
N., long. 86°40′42″ W.’’ in its place.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:58 Jan 29, 2013
Jkt 229001
Class C airspace areas are published
in paragraph 4000 of FAA Order
7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012 and
effective September 15, 2012, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class C airspace area
modification proposed in this document
would be published subsequently in the
Order.
The FAA has determined that this
proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical
regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to
keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed 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. Since this is a routine
matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed 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 the 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 would modify terminal airspace as
required to preserve the safe and
efficient flow of air traffic in the
Nashville, TN, area.

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface in the West Palm Beach, FL area. New
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures have been developed for Palm
Beach County Park Airport. Airspace reconfiguration is necessary for
the continued safety and management of IFR operations within the West
Palm Beach, FL, airspace area. The geographic coordinates for Palm
Beach County Park Airport also would be adjusted to coincide with the
FAAs aeronautical database.
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 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
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 proposed rule, when promulgated, would 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 proposed rulemaking is promulgated under the authority
