Amendment of Class E Airspace; Muscatine, IA, 19931-19933 [2018-09403]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 88 / Monday, May 7, 2018 / Rules and Regulations requirements on the pilot in command when operating at Fitch H. Beach Airport. Due to a recent change to FAA Order 7400.2L, dated October 12, 2017, the name of the city associated with the airport is removed from the airspace legal designation. 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 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 7400.11B, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15, 2017.

Beach, Charlotte, MI, and updates the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database. The name of the city associated with the airport is removed from the airspace legal designation to comply with a recent change to FAA Order 7400.2L. Except for the change noted above, this rule is the same as published in the NPRM. Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of the Lansing VOR/TACAN, which provided navigation guidance for the instrument procedures to this airport, as part of the VOR MON Program. This action enhances safety and the management of IFR operations at this 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:29 May 04, 2018 Jkt 244001 ‘‘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.

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 designated as a surface area and Class E 
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Muscatine 
Municipal Airport, Muscatine, IA, to support instrument flight rules 
(IFR) operations at the airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal 
Register (82 FR 61698; December 29, 2017) for Docket No. FAA-2017-1002 
to modify Class E airspace designated as a surface area and Class E 
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Muscatine 
Municipal Airport, Muscatine, 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 6002 and 
6005, respectively, 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 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 7400.11B, 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 amends Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 
71 by:
    Modifying Class E airspace designated as a surface area to within a 
4.1-mile radius (increased from a 3.9-mile radius) of Muscatine 
Municipal Airport, Muscatine, IA, with an extension 1.0 mile either 
side of the 305[deg] bearing from the airport from the 4.1-mile radius 
to 4.4 miles northwest of the airport, and an extension 1.0 mile either 
side of the 238[deg] bearing from the airport from the 4.1-mile radius 
to 4.4 miles southwest of the airport. This action also makes an 
editorial change to the airspace legal description replacing ``Airport/
Facility Directory'' with ``Chart Supplement''; and
    Modifying Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface at Muscatine Municipal Airport by removing the Port City VOR/
DME from the airspace description, removing the extensions referencing 
the Port City VOR/DME, and adding an extension 3.8 miles either side of 
the 238[deg] bearing from the airport from the 6.6-mile radius to 10.5 
miles southwest of the airport.
    Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of 
the Port City VOR as part of the VOR MON Program, and to bring the 
airspace and airspace descriptions into compliance with FAA Order 
7400.2L, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters. Controlled airspace 
is necessary for the safety and management of 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 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 5-6.5.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.
