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 amends controlled airspace at Harvey Municipal Airport, Harvey, ND; and Rolla Municipal Airport, Rolla, ND. History In a review of the airspace, the FAA found the airspace for Harvey Municipal Airport, Harvey, ND; and Rolla Municipal Airport, Rolla, ND, as published in FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, required the geographic coordinates of the above airports, Minot AFB, Minot, ND; and the Devil’s Lake VOR/DME to be updated.

This is an administrative change amending the description for Harvey Municipal Airport and Rolla Municipal Airport to be in concert with the FAA’s aeronautical database, and does not affect the boundaries, or operating requirements of the airspace; therefore, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with RULES 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 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.

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 amends controlled airspace at Harvey Municipal Airport, Harvey, 
ND; and Rolla Municipal Airport, Rolla, ND.

History

    In a review of the airspace, the FAA found the airspace for Harvey 
Municipal Airport, Harvey, ND; and Rolla Municipal Airport, Rolla, ND, 
as published in FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace Designations and Reporting 
Points, required the geographic coordinates of the above airports, 
Minot AFB, Minot, ND; and the Devil's Lake VOR/DME to be updated. This 
is an administrative change and does not affect the boundaries or 
operating requirements of the above airports.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of 
FAA

[[Page 11414]]

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 
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 7400.9Z, 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 Rule

    This action amends Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71, updating the geographic coordinates for Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Harvey Municipal 
Airport, Harvey, ND; Rolla Municipal Airport, Rolla, ND; Minot AFB, 
Minot ND; and the Devils Lake VOR/DME to coincide with the FAA's 
aeronautical database.
    This is an administrative change amending the description for 
Harvey Municipal Airport and Rolla Municipal Airport to be in concert 
with the FAA's aeronautical database, and does not affect the 
boundaries, or operating requirements of the airspace; therefore, 
notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.

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 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.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical 
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance 
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and 
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. 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.
