ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This action modifies Class D
and E airspace at Kenai Municipal
Airport, Kenai, AK. Controlled airspace
is necessary to accommodate aircraft
using the new Area Navigation (RNAV)
Global Positioning System (GPS)
standard instrument approach
procedures at the airport. A minor
adjustment is made to the geographic
coordinates of the airport. Additionally,
language establishing dates and times of
use of the procedures was inadvertently
omitted from the description for the
Class E airspace designated as an
extension, and is included in this rule.
This action, initiated by the biennial
review of the Kenai airspace area,
enhances the safety and management of
aircraft operations at the airport.
DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC,
February 6, 2014. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this
incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
History
On June 10, 2013, the FAA published
in the Federal Register a notice of
E:\FR\FM\31OCR1.SGM
31OCR1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 211 / Thursday, October 31, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify
controlled airspace at Kenai Municipal
Airport, Kenai, AK (78 FR 34609).
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
proposal to the FAA. No comments
were received. Subsequent to
publication, the FAA found that the text
regarding operating hours established by
NOTAM was omitted from Class E
airspace designated as an extension to a
Class D surface area. This action
includes the NOTAM information.
Class D and Class E airspace
designations are published in paragraph
5000, 6002 and 6004, respectively, of
FAA Order 7400.9X dated August 7,
2013, and effective September 15, 2013,
which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class D and Class E
airspace designations listed in this
document will be published
subsequently in this Order.
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified 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
discusses 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 amends
controlled airspace at the Kenai
Municipal Airport, Kenai, AK.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by
modifying Class D airspace, Class E
surface airspace and Class E airspace
designated as an extension to Class D
surface area, at Kenai Municipal
Airport, Kenai, AK. Also, the geographic
coordinates of the airport are updated to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database. The FAAs biennial review
found modification of the airspace
necessary for the safety and
management of aircraft departing and
arriving under IFR operations at the
airport. The Class D airspace and Class
E surface area airspace excluded below
1100 feet MSL beyond 4 miles from the
airport is decreased, and the segment of
the Class E airspace designated as an
extension extending to 10.2 miles
northeast of the airport is adjusted to
coincide with the dimensions of the
cutout. Also, this action adds the text
specifying the operating hours
established in advance by NOTAM in
the airspace description for Class E
airspace designated as an extension to
Class D or E surface area.
The FAA has determined 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
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.
