Availability and Summary of
Documents Proposed for Incorporation
by Reference
This document proposes to amend
FAA Order 7400.9Y, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated August 6, 2014, and effective
September 15, 2014. FAA Order
7400.9Y is publicly available as listed in
the ADDRESSES section of this proposed
rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic
service routes, and reporting points.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) Part 71 by establishing Class D
surface area airspace, Class E surface
area airspace and Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Aurora State Airport,
Aurora, OR. The construction of a new
air traffic control tower has made this
action necessary for the safety and
management of IFR operations for SIAPs
at the airport. Class D airspace and Class
E surface area airspace would extend
upward from the surface to and
including 2,700 feet within a 5-mile
radius of Aurora State Airport,
excluding segments below 1,300 feet
beyond 3.3 miles southeast, and
southwest of the airport. Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface would be
E:\FR\FM\13MRP1.SGM
13MRP1
13289
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 49 / Friday, March 13, 2015 / Proposed Rules
established within a 7-mile radius of
Aurora State Airport, with segments
extending from the 7-mile radius to 20
miles northeast and 10.9 miles
northwest of the airport.
Class D and Class E airspace
designations are published in paragraph
5000, 6002, and 6005, respectively, of
FAA Order 7400.9Y, dated August 6,
2014 and effective September 15, 2014,
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 the Order.
The FAA has determined this
proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical
regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to
keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed 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 will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, it
is certified this proposed rule, when
promulgated, would 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 for
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 the 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
establish controlled airspace at Aurora
State Airport, Aurora, OR.
with FAA Order 1050.1E,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final
regulatory action.

The Proposed Amendment
Accordingly, pursuant to the
authority delegated to me, the Federal
Aviation Administration proposes to
amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows:
PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A,
B, C, D, AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIR
TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND

14 CFR 71.1 of FAA Order 7400.9Y,

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.9Y, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, and effective
September 15, 2014. FAA Order 7400.9Y is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this proposed rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by establishing Class D surface area

airspace would extend upward from the surface to and including 2,700
feet within a 5-mile radius of Aurora State Airport, excluding segments
below 1,300 feet beyond 3.3 miles southeast, and southwest of the
airport. Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface would be
[[Page 13289]]
established within a 7-mile radius of Aurora State Airport, with
segments extending from the 7-mile radius to 20 miles northeast and
10.9 miles northwest of the airport.
Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in
paragraph 5000, 6002, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9Y,
dated August 6, 2014 and effective September 15, 2014, which is
