The Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface within a 13.4mile radius to support new Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures
developed at New Tazewell Municipal
Airport, Tazewell, TN. Airspace
reconfiguration is necessary due to the
development of the RNAV (GPS) RWY
7 approach and for continued safety and
management of IFR operations at the
airport.
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 FAA has determined that this
proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical
regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to
keep them operationally current. It,
therefore, (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
proposed rule, when promulgated,
would 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 United States Code.
Subtitle I, 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 proposed
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 proposed regulation is
within the scope of that authority as it
would amend Class E airspace at New
Tazewell Municipal Airport, Tazewell,
TN.
This proposal would be subject to an
environmental analysis in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E,

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend
the Class E surface area airspace to
within a 5-mile radius of the airport,
with a segment extending from the 5mile radius to 7 miles southwest and 7
miles northeast of Danville Regional
Airport, Danville, VA. Due to increased
air traffic, controlled airspace would be
continuous 24 hours, and no longer
would be effective during the specific
dates and times established in advanced
by NOTAM. Also, the geographic
coordinates of the airport would be
adjusted to coincide with the FAAs
aeronautical database.
Class E airspace designations are
published in Paragraph 6002 of FAA
Order 7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012,
and effective September 15, 2012, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
