Amendment of Class D and E
Airspace, and Establishment of Class
E Airspace; Salisbury, MD
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This action amends Class D
and Class E airspace, and establishes
Class E airspace at Salisbury-Ocean City
Wicomico Regional Airport, Salisbury,
MD, due to the decommissioning of the
Salisbury VHF Omnidirectional Radio
Range Tactical Air Navigation Aid
(VORTAC) and cancellation of the VOR
approach. This enhances the safety and
management of aircraft operations at the
airport. This action also updates the
geographic coordinates of the airport,
and changes the Class D city designator.
DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 6,
2014. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by
reference action under title 1, Code of
Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to
the annual revision of FAA Order
7400.9 and publication of conforming
amendments.

History
On August 22, 2013, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
VerDate Mar<15>2010
19:14 Nov 29, 2013
Jkt 232001
to amend Class D and Class E surface
area, and establish Class E airspace
designated as an extension to a Class D
surface area at Salisbury-Ocean City
Wicomico Regional Airport, Salisbury,
MD. (78 FR, 52109). 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 D and Class E airspace
designations are published in
paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6004, and 6005,
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 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 D airspace and Class E
surface airspace to within a 4.3-mile
radius of the airport. Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface is amended to within a 7mile radius of the airport. Class E
airspace designated as an extension to a
Class D surface area airspace is
established within a 4.3-mile radius of
the airport, with segments extending 7
miles southeast, northeast, and
southwest of the airport. The geographic
coordinates of the airport are adjusted to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database. The Class D city designation is
changed from Salisbury-Ocean City
Wicomico Regional Airport, MD, to
Salisbury, MD.
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
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 United States Code.

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 Salisbury-Ocean
City Wicomico Regional Airport,
Salisbury, MD.
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.

at Danville Regional Airport, Danville,
VA. (78 FR, 48079). Interested parties

No comments were received.
Class E airspace designations are

increased air traffic, controlled airspace
is continuous 24 hours, and no longer

the airport also are adjusted to be in
