Environmental Review
Federal Aviation Administration
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.

The Rule
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
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
to ensure that controlled airspace exists
to contain aircraft executing new
standard instrument approach
procedures at Mason County Airport,
Mason, TX. A segment is added from
the 6.4-mile radius of the airport to 11.8
miles north of the airport for the safety
and management of IFR operations. 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

This action amends Title 14 Code of

SUMMARY:
History
On May 29, 2013, the FAA published
in the Federal Register a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend
Class E airspace at Seamans Field
Airport, Factoryville, PA, (78 FR,
32212). 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 amendment to Title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
amends Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
within an 11 mile radius of Seamans
Field Airport, Factoryville, PA. Airspace
reconfiguration is necessary due to the
decommissioning of the Lake Henry
VORTAC and cancellation of the VOR
approach, and for continued 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, is non-controversial and
unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore, (1) Is not a
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
