Federal Aviation Administration
County—City County Airport (78 FR
11115) Docket No. FAA–2011–1431.
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 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.
14 CFR Part 71
The Rule
[Docket No. FAA–2011–1431; Airspace
Docket No. 11–ACE–24]
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
within a 6.5-mile radius of the airport
for standard instrument approach
procedures at Atwood—Rawlins
County—City County Airport, Atwood,
KS. The airspace extension north of the
airport is removed due to the
decommissioning of the Atwood NDB
and the cancellation of the NDB
approach. Geographic coordinates are
also updated to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database. Controlled
airspace enhances the safety and
management of IFR operations at the
airport.
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 only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that 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, describes the authority of
the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more
This section of the FEDERAL REGISTER
contains regulatory documents having general
applicability and legal effect, most of which

Federal Regulations, which is published under

The Code of Federal Regulations is sold by
the Superintendent of Documents. Prices of
new books are listed in the first FEDERAL
REGISTER issue of each week.

Amendment of Class E Airspace;
Atwood, KS
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This action amends Class E
airspace at Atwood, KS.
Decommissioning of the Atwood nondirectional radio beacon (NDB) at
Atwood—Rawlins County—City County
Airport has made reconfiguration
necessary for standard instrument
approach procedures and for the safety
and management of Instrument Flight
Rule (IFR) operations at the airport.
Geographic coordinates are also
updated.
SUMMARY:
Effective date: 0901 UTC, August
22, 2013. The Director of the Federal

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 establishes
controlled airspace at Atwood—Rawlins
County—City County Airport, Atwood,
KS.
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On February 15, 2013, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend Class E airspace for the
Atwood, KS, area, creating additional controlled airspace at Atwood--
Rawlins County--City County Airport (78 FR 11115) Docket No. FAA-2011-
1431. 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
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 within a 6.5-mile radius of the airport for standard
instrument approach procedures at Atwood--Rawlins County--City County
Airport, Atwood, KS. The airspace extension north of the airport is
removed due to the decommissioning of the Atwood NDB and the
cancellation of the NDB approach. Geographic coordinates are also
updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. Controlled
airspace enhances the safety and management of IFR operations at the
airport.
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,
