SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On November 14, 2012, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to amend controlled airspace at Casper,
WY (77 FR 67782). 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 paragraphs 6004, 6005 and
6006, respectively, 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 that
Order.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by
modifying Class E airspace designated
as an extension to a Class D surface area,
and Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface, to
facilitate vectoring of IFR traffic from en
route airspace to the airport, due to the
decommissioning of the Muddy
Mountain VORTAC at Casper, Natrona
County International Airport, Casper,
WY. This action also amends Class E en
route domestic airspace extending
upward from 1,200 feet above the
surface by removing the exclusionary
language in the regulatory text. This
action enhances the safety and
management of aircraft operations
within the National Airspace System.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 modifies
controlled airspace at Casper, Natrona
County International Airport, Casper,
WY.
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.
