The Proposal
This action proposes to amend Title
14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR), Part 71 by amending Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface to accommodate
amended standard instrument approach
procedures at Greater Kankakee Airport,
Kankakee, IL. Accordingly, segments
would extend from the 7-mile radius of
the airport to 16 miles and 16.6 miles
southwest and 7.5 miles northeast of the
airport, to retain the safety and
management of IFR aircraft in Class E
airspace to/from the en route
environment. Geographic coordinates of
the airport would also be updated to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:50 Aug 09, 2013
Jkt 229001
Class E airspace areas 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 would 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, will
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 proposed regulation is
within the scope of that authority as it
would amend controlled airspace at
Greater Kankakee Airport, Kankakee, IL.

Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future
NPRMs should contact the FAA's Office of Rulemaking (202) 267-9677, to
request a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.
The Proposal
This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), Part 71 by establishing Class D airspace from the surface up
to but not including 2,000 feet MSL within a 3.5-mile radius of
Mesquite Metro Airport, Mesquite, TX, with a segment extending from the
3.5-mile radius to 4.1 miles south of the airport. Controlled airspace
is needed for the safety and management of IFR operations at the
airport.
Class D airspace areas are published in Paragraph 5000 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 D airspace
designation listed in this document would 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, will 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 proposed regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it would establish controlled airspace at Mesquite Metro
Airport, Mesquite, TX.
Environmental Review
This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
