an extension of the comment period
would help commenters provide
feedback on the proposed changes and
detailed requests for comment in the
proposal. This extension of the
comment period will allow interested
persons additional time to analyze the

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 proposed 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 would
establish Class E surface airspace and
amend Class D airspace at Tyndall AFB,
FL, to support IFR operations at this
airport.

will be date/time stamped and returned
to the commenter.
All communications received before
the specified closing date for comments
will be considered before taking action
on the proposed rule. The proposal
contained in this document may be
changed in light of the comments
received. All comments submitted will
be available for examination in the
public docket both before and after the
comment closing date. A report
summarizing each substantive public
contact with FAA personnel concerned
with this rulemaking will be filed in the
docket. All communications received on
or before the specified closing date for
comments will be considered before
taking action on the proposed rule. The
proposal contained in this notice may
be changed in light of the comments
received. A report summarizing each
substantive public contact with FAA
personnel concerned with this
rulemaking will be filed in the docket.
The Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish
Class E surface airspace within a 5.4mile radius of Tyndall AFB, FL, for the
safety of aircraft landing and departing
the airport when the air traffic control
tower is closed.
In addition, the geographic
coordinates of the airport in Class D
airspace would be updated to coincide
with the FAA’s database.
Finally, the outdated term ‘Airport/
Facility Directory’ would be replaced
with ‘Chart Supplement’ under the
Class D description.
Class E airspace designations are
published in Paragraphs 5000 and 6002,
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 D and Class E airspace
designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in the
Order.
Availability of NPRMs
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this
proposed 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 will
only affect air traffic procedures and air
navigation, it is certified that this
proposed 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.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document proposes to amend 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 Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish Class E surface airspace
within a 5.4-mile radius of Tyndall AFB, FL, for the safety of aircraft
landing and departing the airport when the air traffic control tower is
closed.
In addition, the geographic coordinates of the airport in Class D
airspace would be updated to coincide with the FAA's database.
Finally, the outdated term `Airport/Facility Directory' would be
replaced with `Chart Supplement' under the Class D description.
Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraphs 5000 and
6002, 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 D and Class E airspace designations listed in this
document will be published subsequently in the Order.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this proposed 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
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed 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
This proposal would be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
