management of the standard instrument
approach procedures for IFR operations.
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.

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 modifies
Class E airspace at James G. Whiting
Memorial Field Airport, Mapleton, IA.
History
On September 8, 2016, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM),
(81 FR 62040) Docket No. FAA–2016–
8834, to amend Class E airspace at
James G. Whiting Memorial Field
Airport, Mapleton, IA. 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 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016,
and effective September 15, 2016, 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.

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
within a 6.6-mile radius (increased from
the 6.3-mile radius) of James G. Whiting
Memorial Field Airport, Mapleton, IA,
with an extension southwest of the
airport from the 6.6-mile radius to 10.3
miles. The segment extending 10 miles
northeast of the airport is removed.
Airspace reconfiguration is necessary
due to the decommissioning of the
Mapleton NDB, cancellation of NDB
approaches, and implementation of
RNAV procedures at the airport and for
the safety and management of the
standard instrument approach
procedures for IFR operations at the
airport.

V. Ordering Paragraphs
I. Introduction
On December 19, 2016, the
Commission issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking to revise its regulations
governing requests for agency records
made under the Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552, to comply
with the FOIA Improvement Act of 2016
(the Act), Public Law 114–185, 130 Stat.
538 (2016).1 For the reasons discussed
below, the Commission adopts the
following final rules, which include
minor revisions to the proposed rules.
II. Background
The FOIA Improvement Act of 2016
was signed into law on June 30, 2016.
Among other things, the Act expands
the dispute resolution process available
to requesters, limits the use of FOIA
exemptions, and codifies the so-called
‘‘Rule of 3’’ for frequently requested
records.
On December 19, 2016, the
Commission issued Order No. 3671,
introducing proposed revisions to its
rules. As Order No. 3671 indicates,
revisions to the affected sections of 39
CFR part 3004 are necessary to
implement the Act.
III. Review of Comments
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.
Jkt 241001
39 CFR Part 3004
The Commission received two sets of
comments on the proposed rules. The
National Archives and Records
Administration’s Office of Government
Information Services (OGIS) and the
Public Representative submitted
comments.2

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

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

Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of

This document amends FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace Designations and

and effective September 15, 2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly
available as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA
Order 7400.11A 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 within a 6.6-mile radius (increased from the 6.3-mile
radius) of James G. Whiting Memorial Field Airport, Mapleton, IA, with
an extension southwest of the airport from the 6.6-mile radius to 10.3
