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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
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 Oskaloosa
Municipal Airport, Oskaloosa, IA, to
support IFR operations in standard
instrument approach procedures at the
airport.
History
The FAA published in the Federal
Register (82 FR 24271, May 26, 2017)
Docket No. FAA–2017–0296 a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Oskaloosa
Municipal Airport, Oskaloosa, 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.
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
amends Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
within a 6.4-mile radius of Oskaloosa
Municipal Airport, Oskaloosa, IA, to
accommodate new standard instrument
approach procedures for IFR operations
at the airport. The segment within 2.6
miles each side of the 018° bearing from
the Oskaloosa NDB extending from the
6.4-mile radius to 7 miles north of the
NDB is removed due to the
decommissioning of the NDB and
cancellation of the NDB approach
procedure. 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, would 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.

Oskaloosa, IA, to accommodate new standard instrument approach
procedures for IFR operations at the airport. The segment within 2.6
miles each side of the 018[deg] bearing from the Oskaloosa NDB
extending from the 6.4-mile radius to 7 miles north of the NDB is
removed due to the decommissioning of the NDB and cancellation of the
NDB approach procedure. 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, would 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.
