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 removes
Class D airspace at North Air Force
Auxiliary Field, North, SC.

SUMMARY:

no longer required.
DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, November

Register approves this incorporation by
reference action under Title 1, Code of
Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to
the annual revision of FAA Order
7400.9 and publication of conforming
amendments.
Jkt 238001
On March 28, 2016, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to remove Class D airspace at North Air

Order 7400.9Z dated August 6, 2015,
and effective September 15, 2015, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
part 71.1. The Class D 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
removes Class D airspace at North Air
Force Auxiliary Field, North, SC. The
air traffic control tower is no longer in
use. Therefore, the Class D airspace area
is no longer necessary.
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. 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 5–6.5a. This airspace action
is not expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts, and
no extraordinary circumstances exist

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
establishes Class E airspace extending
upward from 1,200 feet above the
surface within a 100-mile radius of
Harvey Municipal Airport, Harvey, ND,
to facilitate vectoring of IFR aircraft
under control of Minneapolis ARTCC.
Controlled airspace is needed for the
safety and management of IFR
operations in the National Airspace
System.
Class E airspace designations are
published in Paragraph 6006 of FAA
Order 7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015,

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

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
