The Proposal
The Proposed Amendment
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Prineville
Airport, Prineville, OR. Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface would be modified to within
an 8-mile radius (from a 6.9-mile radius)
of Prineville airport with a 4.2 mile
(from 10 miles) wide segment extending
to 11.4 miles (from 12.3 miles) west of
the airport. Additionally, Class E
airspace extending upward from 1,200
feet above the surface designated to
Prineville Airport would be removed
since this airspace area duplicates the
larger Bend Class E en route airspace
area.
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.
Accordingly, pursuant to the
authority delegated to me, the Federal
Aviation Administration proposes to
amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows:
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 will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, it
is certified that this rule, when
promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
