SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
On March 6, 2013, the FAA published
in the Federal Register a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to
establish Class E airspace for the Linton,
ND, area, creating controlled airspace at
Linton Municipal Airport (78 FR 14478)
Docket No. FAA–2012–1097. 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
establishing Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 and 1,200 feet above
the surface to ensure that required
controlled airspace exists to contain

new standard instrument approach
procedures at Linton Municipal Airport,
Linton, ND. 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
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 Linton Municipal
Airport, Linton, ND.

The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
