The Class D airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. The Rule This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by amending Class D airspace at Rosecrans Municipal Airport, St. Joseph, MO, to contain aircraft executing new standard instrument approach procedures at the airport. Accordingly, additional segments will extend from the 4.3-mile radius of the airport to 4.9 miles northwest and 4.5 miles southeast of the airport, to retain the safety and management of IFR aircraft in Class D airspace to/from the en route environment. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On December 9, 2013, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend Class D airspace for the 
St. Joseph, MO, area, creating additional controlled airspace at 
Rosecrans Municipal Airport (78 FR 73749) Docket No. FAA-2013-0917. 
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 airspace designations are published in 
paragraph 5000 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 airspace designations listed in this document will be 
published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
Part 71 by amending Class D airspace at Rosecrans Municipal Airport, 
St. Joseph, MO, to contain aircraft executing new standard instrument 
approach procedures at the airport. Accordingly, additional segments 
will extend from the 4.3-mile radius of the airport to 4.9 miles 
northwest and 4.5 miles southeast of the airport, to retain the safety 
and management of IFR aircraft in Class D airspace to/from the en route 
environment.
    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 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 Rosecrans Municipal Airport, St. 
Joseph, MO.

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.
