Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This action modifies Class D
airspace and Class E airspace areas at
Pueblo Memorial Airport, Pueblo, CO,
to accommodate aircraft using VHF
Omni-Directional Radio Range/Distance
Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME)
standard instrument approach
procedures at Pueblo Memorial Airport.
This improves the safety and
management of Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR) operations at the airport.
Adjustments to the geographic
coordinates of the airport also are made.
DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, August
22, 2013. The Director of the Federal

SUMMARY:
History
On February 21, 2013, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to modify controlled airspace at Pueblo,
CO (78 FR 11996). 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 D and Class E airspace
designations are published in
paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6004 and 6005,
respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9W
dated August 8, 2012, and effective
September 15, 2012, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
71.1. The Class D and 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 D airspace, Class E
airspace designated as surface area,
Class E airspace designated as an
extension to Class D surface area, and
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface, at Pueblo,
CO, to accommodate IFR aircraft using
VOR/DME standard instrument
approach procedures at the airport. The
geographic coordinates of the airport for
the Class D and Class E airspace areas
are updated to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database. 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 only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified this rule, when promulgated,
does 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 Pueblo Memorial
Airport, Pueblo, CO.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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
On December 21, 2012, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to modify controlled airspace at Eureka,
NV (77 FR 75594). 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 FAA’s
Terminal Products Group reassessed the
proposal and on March 19, 2013, the
FAA published in the Federal Register
a supplemental notice of proposed
rulemaking (SNPRM) to modify the
airspace 1,200 feet above the surface
southeast of the Eureka Airport, Eureka,
NV (78 FR 16821). 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 airspace 1,200 feet
above the surface by increasing the
airspace area southeast of the Eureka
Airport, Eureka, NV, to accommodate
aircraft using the RNAV (GPS) standard
instrument approach procedures at
Eureka Airport.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005, of FAA
Order 7400.9W dated August 8, 2012,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This action amends Title 14 Code of

RNAV (GPS) standard instrument
approach procedures at the airport.
Additional controlled airspace
extending upward from 1,200 feet above
the surface is established to the
northeast to contain the MINES (RNAV)
ONE departure, and to the southeast for
IFR operations. This action is necessary
for the safety and management of IFR
operations.
