Download as PDF
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 236 / Monday, December 10, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
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 D airspace at Coleman A. Young
Memorial Airport, Detroit, MI.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (83 FR 47580; September 20,
2018) for Docket No. FAA–2018–0685 to
amend Class D airspace at Coleman A.
Young Memorial Airport, Detroit, MI.
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
proposal to the FAA. No comments
were received.
Subsequent to publication, the FAA
discovered that the longitudinal
geographic coordinate for the airport
was published incorrectly. That error is
corrected in this final rule.
Class D airspace designations are
published in paragraph 5000 of FAA
Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018,
and effective September 15, 2018, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class D 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
7400.11C, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 13,
2018, and effective September 15, 2018.
FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly
available as listed in the ADDRESSES
section of this document. FAA Order
7400.11C 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
modifies the Class D airspace by
updating for the location in the header
of the airspace legal description to
Detroit, MI (previously Detroit City
Airport, MI), at Coleman A. Young

Municipal Airport (formerly Detroit City
Airport), Detroit, MI, to comply with
FAA Order 7400.2L, Procedures for
Handling Airspace Matters. The name
and geographic coordinates of the
airport are also updated to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database.
The longitudinal geographic
coordinate for the airport is corrected to
‘‘83°00′37″ W’’ Except for this change,
this rule is the same as published in the
NPRM.
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 106(g); 40103,
40113, 40120; E.O. 10854, 24 FR 9565, 3 CFR,
1959–1963 Comp., p. 389.
Paragraph 5000
Class D Airspace.
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.

14 CFR 71.1 of FAA Order 7400.11C,

navigation aid, which provided
navigation information for the
instrument procedures at this airport, as
part of the VOR Minimum Operational
Network (MON) Program. This action
also replaces the outdated term Airport/
Facility Directory with Chart
Supplement. Airspace redesign is
necessary for the safety and
management of instrument flight rules
(IFR) operations at this airport.

Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the

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
16:14 Dec 07, 2018
Jkt 247001
International Airport, Louisville, KY, to
support IFR operations at the airport.
History
The FAA published a final rule in the
Federal Register (83 FR 45820,
September 11, 2018) for Doc. No. FAA–
2018–0825, amending Class D airspace
and Class E surface airspace at Bowman
Field Airport, Louisville, KY, that
contained a clerical error in the airspace
legal description. ‘E–104’ was
incorrectly placed after the geographic
coordinates of Louisville International
Airport, KY under the Class E surface
airspace.
Class E airspace designation are
published in paragraph 6002, of FAA
Order 7400.11C dated August 13, 2018,
and effective September 15, 2018, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
part 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
7400.11C, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 13,
2018, and effective September 15, 2018.
FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly
available as listed in the ADDRESSES
section of this document. FAA Order
7400.11C lists Class A, B, C, D, and E
airspace areas, air traffic service routes,
and reporting points.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by
correcting a clerical error in the
regulatory text of Class E airspace
extending upward from the surface at
Louisville International Airport,
Louisville, KY. The text is corrected to
read, ‘(Lat. 38°10′27″ N, long. 85°44′11″
W).’
Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the
Administrative Procedures Act (5
U.S.C.) authorizes agencies to dispense
with notice and comment procedure
when the agency for ‘‘good cause’’ finds
that these procedures are
‘‘impracticable, or contrary to the public
interest.’’ Accordingly, action is taken
herein to remove ‘E–104’ from the
geographic coordinates for Louisville
International Airport. Therefore, in the
interest of flight safety, I find that notice
and public procedure under 5 U.S.C.
553(b) are impracticable and contrary to
the public interest. Section 553(d) of the
Administrative Procedures Act (5
U.S.C.) authorizes agencies to determine
an effective date of less than 30 days
after publication for good cause found
PO 00000

and published with the rule. In
consideration of the need to correct the
airspace description for Louisville
International Airport and to avoid
confusion on the part of pilots flying in
the vicinity of airport, the FAA finds
good cause for making this amendment
effective in less than 30 days in order to
promote the safe and efficient handling
of air traffic in the area.
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

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.

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 D airspace at Oakland County International Airport,
Pontiac, MI, to support IFR operations at this airport.
History
The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (83 FR 47578; September 20, 2018) for Docket No. FAA-2018-0698
to amend Class D airspace at Oakland County International Airport,
Pontiac, MI. Interested parties were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the
FAA. No comments were received.
Subsequent to publication, the FAA discovered that the extension
from the Oakland County Intl: RWY 09R-LOC was contained within the
radius of the airport and is thus not required in the airspace legal
description. That extension and the Oakland County Intl: RWY 09R-LOC
are removed from the airspace legal description in this rule.
Class D airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000 of
FAA Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15,
2018, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D
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 7400.11C, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15,
2018. FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11C 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 modifies the Class D airspace at Oakland County International
Airport, Pontiac, MI, by adding an extension 1 mile each side of the
274[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the 4.2-mile radius to
4.4 miles west of the airport.
This action also makes an editorial change to the airspace legal
description replacing ``Airport/Facility Directory'' with ``Chart
Supplement''.
The extension from the Oakland County Intl: RWY 09R-LOC and the
Oakland County Intl: RWY 09R-LOC are removed from the airspace legal
description. Except for this change, this rule is the same as published
in the NPRM.
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
