Amendment of Class E Airspace;

Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This action amends Class E
airspace at Middletown, OH. Additional
controlled airspace is necessary to
accommodate new Area Navigation
(RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach
Procedures at Middletown Regional/
Hook Field Airport. The airport’s nondirectional beacon’s (NDB) geographic
coordinates are also updated, as well as
the airport name. The FAA is taking this
action to enhance the safety and
management of Instrument Flight Rule
(IFR) operations at the airport.
DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, June
27, 2013. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by
reference action under 1 CFR part 51,
subject to the annual revision of FAA
Order 7400.9 and publication of
conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On November 30, 2012, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to amend Class E airspace for the
Middletown, OH, area, creating
additional controlled airspace at
Middletown Regional/Hook Field
Airport (77 FR 71364) Docket No. FAA–
2012–0651. 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
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 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 ensure that required controlled
airspace exists from the 6.5-mile radius
of the airport to 12.3 miles northeast of
the airport, 11.2 miles southwest of the
airport, and 7 miles southwest of the
Hook Field NDB navigation aid, to
contain aircraft executing new standard
instrument approach procedures at
Middletown Regional/Hook Field
Airport, Middletown, OH. This action
enhances the safety and management of
IFR operations at the airport. The
geographic coordinates of the
Middletown Regional/Hook Field
airport, formerly known as Hook Field
Airport, and the Hook Field NDB 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

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.
