respectively, rounded to the nearest

III. Justification for Final Rule
The Inflation Adjustment Act
provides that agencies shall annually
adjust civil monetary penalties for
inflation notwithstanding Section 553 of
the APA. Additionally, the Inflation
Adjustment Act provides a
nondiscretionary cost-of-living formula
for annual adjustment of the civil
monetary penalties. For these reasons,
the requirements in sections 553(b), (c),
and (d) of the APA, relating to notice
and comment and requiring that a rule
be effective 30 days after publication in
the Federal Register, are inapplicable.
IV. Justification for Immediate Effective
Date
Section 553(d) requires agencies to
publish their rules at least 30 days
before their effective dates, except if the
agency finds for good cause that the
delay is impracticable, unnecessary, or
contrary to the public interest. By
expressly exempting this rule from
section 553, the 2015 Inflation
Adjustment Improvements Act has
provided SBA with the good cause
justification for this rule to become
effective on the date it is published in
the Federal Register.
Compliance With Executive Orders
12866, 12988, 13132, 13771, and the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Ch.
35) and the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601–612)
Executive Order 12866
The Office of Management and Budget
has determined that this final rule is not
a significant regulatory action under
Executive Order 12866. This is also not
a major rule under the Congressional
Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 800.

Executive Order 12988
This action meets applicable
standards set forth in Sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil
Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce
burden. The action does not have
retroactive or preemptive effect.
Executive Order 13132
For the purpose of Executive Order
13132, SBA has determined that the rule
will not have substantial direct effects
on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and
the States, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government. Therefore,
this final rule has no federalism
implications warranting preparation of a
federalism assessment.

§ 107.665
This rule is not an Executive Order
13771 regulatory action because this
rule is not significant under Executive
Order 12866.
■
Paperwork Reduction Act
7363
■
SBA has determined that this rule
does not impose additional reporting or
recordkeeping requirements.
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
The RFA requires agencies to consider
the effect of their regulatory actions on
small entities, including small nonprofit businesses, and small local
governments. Pursuant to the RFA,
when an agency issues a rule the agency
must prepare an analysis that describes
whether the impact of the rule will have
a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of such small
entities. However, the RFA requires
such analysis only where notice and
comment rulemaking is required. As
stated above, SBA has express statutory
authority to issue this rule without
regard to the notice and comment
requirement of the Administrative
Procedure Act. Since notice and
comment is not required before this rule
is issued, SBA is not required to prepare
a regulatory analysis.

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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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 at Hanford Municipal
Airport, Hanford, CA, to support
instrument flight rules (IFR) operations
at the airport.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the
Federal Register for Docket No. FAA–
2017–0856 (82 FR 50594; November 1,
2017) proposing to amend Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Hanford
Municipal Airport, Hanford, CA.
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
proposal to the FAA. No comments
were received.
The FAA inadvertently omitted in the
NPRM that the geographic coordinates
of the airport are adjusted and makes
the notation in the rule. Except for this
notation, this rule is the same as
published in the NPRM.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017,
and effective September 15, 2017, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
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
7400.11B, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017,
and effective September 15, 2017. FAA
Order 7400.11B is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11B 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
amending Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
at Hanford Municipal Airport, Hanford,
CA, to accommodate area navigation
(RNAV) procedures at the airport. The
Class E airspace area is modified to
within 1.8 miles southwest and 3.2
miles northeast of the 332° bearing from
the airport extending to 6.2 miles
northwest of the airport (from within a
2.6-mile radius), and within 1.8 miles
southwest and 3.2 miles northeast (from
within 1.5 miles each side) of the 152°
bearing from the airport extending to 6.2
PO 00000

miles southeast of the airport (from 5
miles southeast), and within 1.3 miles
each side of the 067° bearing from the
airport (from 1.8 miles north and 2.3
miles south of the Visalia VOR/DME)
extending to 7.7 miles northeast of the
airport.
Also, this action amends the
geographic coordinates for the airport,
removes the reference to the Visalia
VOR/DME in the legal description as the
FAA transitions from ground-based to
satellite-based navigation; and removes
Blair Airport from the legal description
as the airport no longer exists.
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, 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 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.

airport no longer exists.
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, 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
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.
