Proposed Establishment and Amendment of Class E Airspace; Bremerton, WA, 26497-26499 [2015-10499]
Download as PDF
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 89 / Friday, May 8, 2015 / Proposed Rules
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, 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 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
Independence Municipal Airport, KS.
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.

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 modifying Class E
surface area airspace and establishing
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Bremerton
National Airport, Bremerton, WA. After
a review of the airspace, the FAA found
modification of the airspace necessary
for the safety and management of
aircraft departing and arriving under
IFR operations at the airport. Class E
surface area airspace would be adjusted
to be defined from the Bremerton
National Airport reference point versus
the Kitsap NDB, with segments
extending from the 4.1-mile radius of
the airport to 7 miles southwest, and 6.1

miles northeast of the airport. Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface would be
established within a 6.1-mile radius of
the airport, with segments extending
from the 6.1-mile radius to 8.1 miles
southwest, and 7.6 miles northeast of
the airport.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 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 E airspace designation
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

of the airspace necessary to ensure the

Reference
This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.9Y, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, and effective

The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class E surface area airspace
and establishing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Bremerton National Airport, Bremerton, WA. After a
review of the airspace, the FAA found modification of the airspace
necessary for the safety and management of aircraft departing and
arriving under IFR operations at the airport. Class E surface area
airspace would be adjusted to be defined from the Bremerton National
Airport reference point versus the Kitsap NDB, with segments extending
from the 4.1-mile radius of the airport to 7 miles southwest, and 6.1
miles northeast of the airport. Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface would be established within a 6.1-mile
radius of the airport, with segments extending from the 6.1-mile radius
to 8.1 miles southwest, and 7.6 miles northeast of the airport.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 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 E airspace designation 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 amend controlled airspace at Bremerton National Airport,
Bremerton, WA.
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.
