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 proposed
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 proposed regulation is
within the scope of that authority as it
would amend Class E airspace at
Deerfield Valley Regional Airport, West
Dover, VT.

Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated August 6, 2015, and effective
September 15, 2015. FAA Order
7400.9Z is publicly available as listed in
the ADDRESSES section of this document.
FAA Order 7400.9Z lists Class A, B, C,
D, and E airspace areas, air traffic
service routes, and reporting points.
The Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Deerfield
Valley Regional Airport, West Dover,
VT. Airspace reconfiguration to within
an 11-mile radius of the airport is
necessary due to the decommissioning
of the Mt. Snow NDB, and cancelation
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4702

74735
of the NDB approach, and for continued
safety and management of IFR
operations at the airport. This action
would also recognize the airport’s name
change from Mt. Snow Airport to
Deerfield Valley Regional Airport.
Class E airspace designations are
published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015,
and effective September 15, 2015, 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.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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
proposed rule, when promulgated, will
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 would be subject to an
environmental analysis in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final
regulatory action.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, and effective
September 15, 2015. FAA Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.
The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface at Deerfield Valley Regional Airport,
West Dover, VT. Airspace reconfiguration to within an 11-mile radius of
the airport is necessary due to the decommissioning of the Mt. Snow
NDB, and cancelation of the NDB approach, and for continued safety and
management of IFR operations at the airport. This action would also
recognize the airport's name change from Mt. Snow Airport to Deerfield
Valley Regional Airport.
Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15,
2015, 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.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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 proposed rule, when promulgated, will 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 would be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
