Authority for This Rulemaking
The Rule
Lists of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
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 D and Class E airspace, and
removes Class E airspace at New
Smyrna Beach Municipal Airport, New
Smyrna Beach, FL, to support standard
instrument approach procedures for IFR
operations at the airport.
This amendment to Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) amends
part 71 by:
Amending Class D airspace, at New
Smyrna Beach Municipal Airport, New
Smyrna Beach, FL, by adjusting the
geographic coordinates to be in concert
with the FAA’s aeronautical database;
making an editorial change to the
airspace legal description replacing
Airport/Facility Directory with Chart
Supplement;
Removing Class E extension airspace
as the airspace is no longer needed due
to the airspace redesign; and
Amending Class E airspace area
extending upward from 700 feet or more
above the surface to within a 6.8-mile
(increased from a 6.6-mile) radius of at
New Smyrna Beach Municipal Airport,
New Smyrna Beach, FL, and removing
the extension southeast of the airport, as
the New Smyrna Beach NDB has been

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. 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.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This action amends Class D
airspace at New River Marine Corps Air
Station (MCAS), at Jacksonville, NC, by
removing Albert J. Ellis Airport,
Jacksonville, NC, from the legal

History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the
Federal Register (83 FR 9243, March 5,
2018) for Docket No. FAA–2017–1159 to
amend Class D airspace, and Class E
airspace designated as an extension to a
Class D surface area at New River MCAS
and Albert J. Ellis Airport, Jacksonville,
NC. Subsequent to publication, the FAA
determined that establishment of Albert
J. Ellis Airport in Class D airspace,
associated with the New River MCAS,
should be established under its own
designation, thereby removing Albert J.
Ellis Airport, Jacksonville, NC, from the
New River MCAS Class D airspace
description. This is merely an editorial
change and does not alter the
boundaries or operating requirements of
the airspace. Except for this change, this
rule is the same as published in the
NPRM.
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

proposal to the FAA. Two comments
were received supporting the proposal.
While the Aircraft Owners and Pilots
Association (AOPA) supported this
proposal, they stated that the NPRM did
not comply with FAA guidance in Order
7400.2L, Procedures for Handling
Airspace Matters, because a graphic was
not included in the docket.
Additionally, AOPA encouraged the
FAA to follow their guidance in the
Order by making the action effective
date coincidental to the sectional chart
publication date.
The FAA has determined AOPA’s
comments raised no substantive issues
with respect to the proposed changes to
the airspace addressed in the NPRM. To
the extent the FAA failed to follow its
policy guidance reference publishing
graphics in the docket and the
amendment of the Class D airspace
effective date to match the sectional
chart date, we note the following.
With respect to AOPA’s comment
addressing graphics, FAA Order
7400.2.L, paragraph 2–3–3.c. requires
the official docket to include available
graphics. For this airspace action, no
graphics were deemed necessary or
produced in the review or development
of the proposed airspace amendments
noted in the NPRM; therefore, no
graphics were available to include in the
docket.
Specific to AOPA’s comment
regarding the FAA already creating a
graphical depiction of new or modified
airspace overlaid on a Sectional Chart
for quality assurance purposes, this is
not correct nor required in all cases.
During the airspace reviews, airspace
graphics may be created, if deemed
necessary, to determine if there are any
terrain issues, or if cases are considered
complex. However, in many cases,
when developing an airspace
amendment proposal, a graphic is not
required. It was unclear if the graphic
AOPA argued was already created with
a sectional chart background was
actually the airspace graphic created by
the Aeronautical Informational Services
office in preparation of publishing the
sectional charts. However, that graphic
is normally created after the rulemaking
determination is published.
With respect to AOPA’s comment
addressing effective dates, FAA Order
7400.2L, paragraph 2–3–7.a.4. states
that, to the extent practicable, Class D
airspace area and restricted area rules
should become effective on a sectional
chart date and that consideration should
be given to selecting a sectional chart
date that matches a 56-day enroute chart
cycle date. The FAA does consider
publishing Class D airspace amendment
effective dates to coincide with the

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 D and Class E airspace, and removes Class E airspace
at New Smyrna Beach Municipal Airport, New Smyrna Beach, FL, to support
standard instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at the
airport.
History
The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (83 FR 25973, June 5, 2018) for Docket No. FAA-2018-0328 to
amend Class D airspace and Class E airspace area extending upward from

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 D and E airspace designations are published in paragraph
5000, 6004, 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 part 71.1. The Class D and 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

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
This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
amends part 71 by:
Amending Class D airspace, at New Smyrna Beach Municipal Airport,
New Smyrna Beach, FL, by adjusting the geographic coordinates to be in
concert with the FAA's aeronautical database; making an editorial
change to the airspace legal description replacing Airport/Facility
Directory with Chart Supplement;
Removing Class E extension airspace as the airspace is no longer
needed due to the airspace redesign; and
Amending Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet or
more above the surface to within a 6.8-mile (increased from a 6.6-mile)
radius of at New Smyrna Beach Municipal Airport, New Smyrna Beach, FL,
and removing the extension southeast of the airport, as the New Smyrna
Beach NDB has been decommissioned and the NDB approach cancelled. This
action also updates the geographic coordinates of the airport and
Massey Ranch Airpark to be in concert with the FAA's aeronautical
database.
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.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT

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 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
