Amendment of Class E Airspace;
Vivian, LA
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This action modifies Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Vivian Airport,
Vivian, LA. This action was necessary
due to the decommissioning of the
Vivian non-directional radio beacon
(NDB), cancellation of the NDB
approach and removal of the reference
to the Shreveport collocated VHF omnidirectional radio range tactical air
navigation (VORTAC). This action
enhances the safety and management of
standard instrument approach
procedures for instrument flight rules
(IFR) operations at the airport.
DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, October 12,
2017. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by
reference action under Title 1, Code of
Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to
the annual revision of FAA Order
7400.11 and publication of conforming
amendments.

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 amends
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Vivian
Airport, Vivian, LA, in support of IFR
operations at the airport.
History
The FAA published in the Federal
Register (82 FR 22093, May 12, 2017),
Docket No. FAA–2017–0298 a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Vivian
Airport, Vivian, LA. 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.
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
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 6.3-mile radius of Vivian
Airport. The segment within 1.4 miles
each side of the 298° radial of the
Shreveport VORTAC extending from the
6.3-mile radius to 7.5 miles northwest of
the airport is removed due to the
E:\FR\FM\16AUR1.SGM
16AUR1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 16, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
decommissioning of the Vivian NDB,
and cancellation of the NDB approach.
The VOR approach was previously
redesigned to use the Vivian NDB when
the Shreveport VORTAC was changed to
the Belcher VORTAC, but was never
noted in the airspace description. This
action enhances the safety and
management of the standard instrument
approach procedures for IFR operations
at the airport.
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, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Temporary final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is
establishing a special local regulation on
the waters of the Atlantic Ocean in the
vicinity of Islamorada, FL during the
Islamorada Grand Prix of the Seas highspeed boat race. Approximately 70 highspeed boats and personal watercraft are
expected to participate in the race, in
addition to spectators. The special local
regulation is necessary to ensure the
safety of race participants, participant
vessels, spectators, and the general
public on navigable waters of the United
States during the event. The special
local regulation will establish two
regulated areas: a race area and buffer
zone; and a spectator area. This special
local regulation prohibits nonparticipant persons and vessels from
entering, transiting through, anchoring
in, or remaining within the race area or

transiting in excess of wake speed
within the spectator area unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port
Key West or a designated representative.
DATES: This rule is effective from daily

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment pursuant to
authority under section 4(a) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule
without prior notice and opportunity to
comment when the agency for good
cause finds that those procedures are
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because
insufficient time remains to publish an
NPRM and to receive public comments,
as the Islamorada Grand Prix event will
occur before the rulemaking process
would be completed. Because of the
dangers associated with high-speed
races in the marine environment, the
special local regulation is necessary to
provide for the safety of event
participants, spectators, the general
public, and vessels transiting the event
area. For those reasons, it would be
impracticable to publish an NPRM.
For the reason discussed above, under
5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds
that good cause exists for making this

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 amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Vivian Airport, Vivian, LA, in support of IFR operations at
the airport.
History
The FAA published in the Federal Register (82 FR 22093, May 12,
2017), Docket No. FAA-2017-0298 a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Vivian Airport, Vivian, LA. 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.
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
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 6.3-mile radius of Vivian Airport. The segment
within 1.4 miles each side of the 298[deg] radial of the Shreveport
VORTAC extending from the 6.3-mile radius to 7.5 miles northwest of the
airport is removed due to the
[[Page 38823]]
decommissioning of the Vivian NDB, and cancellation of the NDB
approach. The VOR approach was previously redesigned to use the Vivian
NDB when the Shreveport VORTAC was changed to the Belcher VORTAC, but
was never noted in the airspace description. This action enhances the
safety and management of the standard instrument approach procedures
for IFR operations at the airport.
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''

that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will 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

to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
