Amendment of VOR Federal Airways; Northeastern United States, 48427-48428 [2015-19239]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 156 / Thursday, August 13, 2015 / Rules and Regulations management of controlled airspace within the NAS. Regulatory Notices and Analyses Paragraph 6005 Class E Airspace Areas Extending Upward From 700 Feet or More Above the Surface of the Earth * 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, is non-controversial, and unlikely to result in adverse or negative comments. 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 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 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Docket No. FAA–2015–1650, Airspace Docket No. 14–AEA–8, published in the Federal Register on June 9 2015 (80 FR 32464), amends VOR Federal airways V–31, V–36, V–98, V–164 and V–252 by removing certain segments in Canadian airspace. The development of associated en route procedures are planned for October 15, 2015, therefore the rule amending these airways is delayed until that date. Additionally, subsequent to publication of the final rule, it was determined that an error was made in the description of Federal airway V–36, whereby the airway segments between Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, and the intersection of radials from the Wiarton, Ontario, Canada, and the Toronto, Ontario, Canada, navigation aids were inadvertently removed. This action corrects the description of V–36 by reinserting the missing airway segments. Domestic VOR Federal Airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order 7400.9Y, dated August 6, 2014, and effective September 15, 2014, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Authority for This Rulemaking The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, 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 establishes controlled airspace at Hill AFB, Ogden, UT. History On May 1, 2015, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to establish Class E airspace as an extension to the Class D surface area, PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 and modify Class D airspace at OgdenHinckley Airport, Ogden, UT (80 FR 24860). 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 and Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000 and 6004, 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. Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference This document amends 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 final rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points. The Rule This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 establishes Class E airspace as an extension to the Class D surface area and modifies Class D airspace Hill AFB, Ogden, UT. Class E airspace as an extension to the Class D surface area is established within a 4.5-mile radius of point in space coordinates, with a segment extending 1 mile southeast. Class D airspace is amended to within a 4.6-mile radius of Hill AFB, and the boundary between Hill AFB and OgdenHinckley Airport is moved 1 mile northwest. This action also updates the geographic coordinates for Hill AFB and Ogden-Hinckley Airport. This action enhances the safety and management of controlled airspace within the National Airspace System. Regulatory Notices and Analyses 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, is non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative comments. 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 E:\FR\FM\13AUR1.SGM 13AUR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    Docket No. FAA-2015-1650, Airspace Docket No. 14-AEA-8, published 
in the Federal Register on June 9 2015 (80 FR 32464), amends VOR 
Federal airways V-31, V-36, V-98, V-164 and V-252 by removing certain 
segments in Canadian airspace. The development of associated en route 
procedures are planned for October 15, 2015, therefore the rule 
amending these airways is delayed until that date.
    Additionally, subsequent to publication of the final rule, it was 
determined that an error was made in the description of Federal airway 
V-36, whereby the airway segments between Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, 
and the intersection of radials from the Wiarton, Ontario, Canada, and 
the Toronto, Ontario, Canada, navigation aids were inadvertently 
removed. This action corrects the description of V-36 by reinserting 
the missing airway segments.
    Domestic VOR Federal Airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) 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 VOR 
Federal Airway listed in this document will be published subsequently 
in the Order.

Delay of Effective Date

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the 
effective
