Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Douglas, WY, 35889-35890 [2015-15287]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 120 / Tuesday, June 23, 2015 / Proposed Rules leverage ratio requirement (replacing a net collateral requirement for System banks), a capital conservation buffer, revised risk weightings, and additional publish disclosure requirements.1 The revisions to the risk weightings would include replacing references to credit ratings with alternative risk measurements, as required by the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The comment period on the proposed rule, after an extension, closed February 16, 2015.2 FCA received a letter dated March 30, 2015, from the Farm Credit Council, a trade association representing System institutions, requesting FCA to reopen the comment period. The Farm Credit Council stated that the reason for its request was to give System institutions the opportunity to meet with FCA Board members that joined the FCA Board on March 13 and 17, 2015, in order to discuss the proposed rule. In response to this request, we are reopening the comment period on June 26 through July 10, 2015. Because the proposed rule contains significant revisions to the regulatory capital framework in existing FCA regulations, we believe it is important to give interested parties additional time to provide comments to the FCA Board. Reopening the comment period will ensure transparency in the process. Dated: June 17, 2015. Dale L. Aultman, Secretary, Farm Credit Administration Board.

FAA Order 7400.9Y lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Converse County Airport, Douglas, WY. The airspace would be modified to within a 4-mile radius of Converse County Airport, with a segment extending from the 4-mile radius to the 7-mile radius east to southwest of the airport, and a segment extending from the 4-mile radius to 7 miles northwest of the airport. The geographic coordinates of the airport would be updated to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database. The lateral boundary for that airspace extending from 1,200 feet above the surface would be defined utilizing latitudinal and longitudinal reference points instead of Federal airway V–19, and would not change the lateral boundaries or operating requirements of the 1,200 foot airspace. This action is necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations for SIAPs at the airport. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 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 designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. Regulatory Notices and Analyses 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:48 Jun 22, 2015 Jkt 235001 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. 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 airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface at Converse County Airport, 
Douglas, WY. The airspace would be modified to within a 4-mile radius 
of Converse County Airport, with a segment extending from the 4-mile 
radius to the 7-mile radius east to southwest of the airport, and a 
segment extending from the 4-mile radius to 7 miles northwest of the 
airport. The geographic coordinates of the airport would be updated to 
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. The lateral boundary for 
that airspace extending from 1,200 feet above the surface would be 
defined utilizing latitudinal and longitudinal reference points instead 
of Federal airway V-19, and would not change the lateral boundaries or 
operating requirements of the 1,200 foot airspace. This action is 
necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations for SIAPs at 
the airport.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 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 designations listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    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.

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.
