ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This action modifies Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Portales
Municipal Airport, Clovis, NM.
Decommissioning of the Portales nondirectional radio beacon (NDB),
cancellation of NDB approaches at
Portales Municipal Airport, and
implementation of area navigation
(RNAV) procedures have made this
action necessary for the safety and
management of Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR) operations at the airport. This
action also updates the geographic
coordinates for Portales Municipal
Airport to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database.
DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, September
15, 2016. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by
reference action under Title 1, Code of
Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 108 / Monday, June 6, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
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 would
amend Class E airspace at Portales
Municipal Airport, Clovis, NM.
History
On March 11, 2016, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to modify Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
at Portales Municipal Airport, Clovis,
NM (81 FR 12847). 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 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 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 amendment to Title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
modifies Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
at Portales Municipal Airport, Clovis,
NM. With the decommissioning of the
Portales NDB, removal of NDB
approaches, and implementation of area
navigation (RNAV) instrument
approaches, the FAA is reducing the

airspace from an 8-mile radius to a 6.6mile radius of the airport in accordance
with airspace requirements specified in
FAA Joint Order 7400.2K. The
geographic coordinates for Portales
Municipal Airport are also being
updated to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database.
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.
