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
new standard instrument approach
procedures at Dalhart Municipal
Airport, Dalhart, TX. Accordingly, the
existing segment extending from the 6.7mile radius of the airport to 11 miles
north of the airport would be expanded
to 11.8 miles, to retain the safety and
management of IFR aircraft in Class E
airspace to/from the en route
environment.
Class E airspace areas are published
in Paragraph 6005 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 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 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 regulation is within the
scope of that authority as it would
amend controlled airspace at Dalhart
Municipal Airport, Dalhart, TX.
Environmental Review
This proposal will be subject to an
environmental analysis in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final
regulatory action.

this addition of controlled airspace
necessary for the safety and

database.
Class E airspace areas are published
in Paragraph 6002 and 6005,
