ACTION: Final rule.
On October 9, 2012, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to modify controlled airspace at Astoria,
OR (77 FR 61306). Interested parties
were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments were received. The
Western Flight Procedures Office
reassessed the proposal and on January
25, 2013, the FAA published in the
Federal Register a supplemental notice
of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to
also modify the north extension west of
Astoria Regional Airport, Astoria, OR
(78 FR 5325). Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments
on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received. This action
modifies the north extension west of the
airport from within 6 miles north to
within 11 miles north of the airport 268°
degree bearing. The airspace extension
will accommodate missed approach
holding for RNAV (GPS) standard
instrument approach procedures. This
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
22415
will add a small area of airspace 700 feet
above the surface to the west of Astoria
Regional Airport, Astoria, OR.
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 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 extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface,
at Astoria Regional Airport, to
accommodate IFR aircraft executing
RNAV (GPS) standard instrument
approach procedures at the airport.
Also, to accommodate the modified
procedure design missed approach
holding for the RNAV (GPS) standard
instrument approach procedure the
FAA has added Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to the west of Astoria
Regional Airport. Extending from the
airport 268° bearing to 17.5 miles west,
the airspace is changed from within 6
miles north of the 268° bearing to 11
miles north. Except for the airspace
modification mentioned above, this rule
is the same as published in the NPRM.
This action is necessary for the safety
and management of IFR operations.
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
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
E:\FR\FM\16APR1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 73 / Tuesday, April 16, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
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 Astoria Regional
Airport, Astoria, OR.
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.

History
The FAA’s Aeronautical Products
Office requested the change to the
airport name of Napa County Fire
Department Heliport, St. Helena, CA.
The 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 Rule
The FAA amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by
changing the airport name described in
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at St. Helena,
CA, to Napa County Fire Department
Heliport, formerly St. Helena Fire
Department Heliport. Accordingly, since
this is an administrative change and
does not involve a change in the
dimensions or operation requirements
of that airspace, notice and public
procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553 (b) are
unnecessary.
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
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, describes the authority for
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 amends

will add a small area of airspace 700 feet above the surface to the
west of Astoria Regional Airport, Astoria, OR.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005, of

This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
Part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface, at Astoria Regional Airport, to accommodate IFR
aircraft executing RNAV (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures
at the airport. Also, to accommodate the modified procedure design
missed approach holding for the RNAV (GPS) standard instrument approach
procedure the FAA has added Class E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface to the west of Astoria Regional Airport.
Extending from the airport 268[deg] bearing to 17.5 miles west, the
airspace is changed from within 6 miles north of the 268[deg] bearing
to 11 miles north. Except for the airspace modification mentioned
above, this rule is the same as published in the NPRM. This action is

The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
