Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface is modified to within a 7.2-mile radius of the airport (from an 8-mile radius) from the airport 231 ° bearing clockwise to the 056 ° bearing, and within a 4.6-mile radius from the airport 056 ° bearing clockwise to the 231 ° bearing, and with a segment extending from the 4.6-mile radius of the airport to 9.3 miles southwest of the airport. The Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface is removed as this airspace is controlled by the Blue Mesa en route airspace area. Also, the airport’s geographic coordinates are updated to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database. New RNAV standard instrument approach procedures, due to decommissioning of the Trinidad NDB, have made this action necessary for the safety, efficiency, and management of IFR operations at the airport.

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 controlled airspace at Perry Stokes Airport, Trinidad, 
CO.

History

    On November 7, 2016, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify Class E surface area 
airspace, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface, at Perry Stokes Airport, Trinidad, CO, (81 FR 78088) Docket 
FAA-2015-7115. 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 6002 and 
6005 of FAA Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and effective 
September 15, 2016, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 
71.1. The Class E airspace designation 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 7400.11A, Airspace Designations and 
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, 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

    The FAA is amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by modifying Class E surface area airspace at Perry Stokes 
Airport, Trinidad, CO, to within a 4.6-mile radius of the airport (from 
a 4.2-mile radius), with a segment extending from the airport 4.6-mile 
radius to 7.2 miles southwest of the airport. Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface is modified to within 
a 7.2-mile radius of the airport (from an 8-mile radius) from the 
airport 231 [deg] bearing clockwise to the 056 [deg] bearing, and 
within a 4.6-mile radius from the airport 056 [deg] bearing clockwise 
to the 231 [deg] bearing, and with a segment extending from the 4.6-
mile radius of the airport to 9.3 miles southwest of the airport. The 
Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface is 
removed as this airspace is controlled by the Blue Mesa en route 
airspace area. Also, the airport's geographic coordinates are updated 
to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. New RNAV standard 
instrument approach procedures, due to decommissioning of the Trinidad 
NDB, have made this action necessary for the safety, efficiency, and 
management of IFR operations at the airport.

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 5-6.5a. 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.
