Amendment of Class E Airspace; Hamilton, OH, 17737-17738 [2019-08474]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 81 / Friday, April 26, 2019 / Rules and Regulations radius at these airports is being reduced by 1 mile and 0.5 miles, respectively, due to changes at the airports and in the approach and departure procedures at each airport in compliance with FAA Order 7400.2M while taking the approach and departure procedures at each airport into consideration. The comment regarding problems in scheduling landings at these airports is not an issue that can be addressed by airspace design but with airport management, and should be addressed with the appropriate airport authority. Additionally, subsequent to publication, the FAA discovered a typographic error in the geographic coordinates for Reid Municipal Heliport contained within the Richmond, IN, airspace legal description. That error is corrected in this action. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 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 E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. amozie on DSK9F9SC42PROD with RULES 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 by: Modifying the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 6.6-mile radius (reduced from a 7.6-mile radius) of Mettel Field Airport, Connersville, IN; updating the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautic database; and removing the city from the airport name and the exclusion verbiage to comply with FAA Order 7400.2M, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters; and Modifying the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 6.5-mile radius (reduced from a 7-mile radius) of Richmond Municipal Airport, Richmond, IN; updating the geographic coordinates of Richmond Municipal Airport and Reid Hospital Heliport, Richmond, IN, to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautic database; and VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:06 Apr 25, 2019 Jkt 247001 correcting the typographic error for the geographic coordinates for Reid Hospital Heliport. This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the decommissioning of the Richmond VOR, which provided navigation information for the instrument procedures at these airports, as part of the VOR MON Program. 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. § 71.1 17737 [Amended] 2. The incorporation by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 of FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15, 2018, is amended as follows: ■ Paragraph 6005 Class E Airspace Areas Extending Upward From 700 Feet or More Above the Surface of the Earth. * * * * * AGL IN E5 Connersville, IN [Amended] Mettel Field Airport, IN (Lat. 39°41′54″ N, long. 85°07′52″ W) That airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 6.6-mile radius of the Mettel Field Airport. * * * * * AGL IN E5 Richmond, IN [Amended] Richmond Municipal Airport, IN (Lat. 39°45′22″ N, long. 84°50′34″ W) Reid Hospital Heliport, IN, Point In Space Coordinates (Lat. 39°51′51″ N, long. 84°52′58″ W) That airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 6.5-mile radius of Richmond Municipal Airport, and within a 6-mile radius of the Point in Space serving Reid Hospital Heliport.

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 extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface at Butler County Regional Airport-Hogan Field, Hamilton, OH, to 
support IFR operations at this airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal 
Register (84 FR 5019; February 20, 2019) for Docket No. FAA-2019-0040 
to amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface at Butler County Regional Airport-Hogan Field, Hamilton, OH. 
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 6005 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 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 amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by modifying the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 
feet above the surface to within a 6.5-mile radius (reduced from a 6.9-
mile radius) of Butler County Regional Airport-Hogan Field, Hamilton, 
OH.
    This action is necessary due to an airspace review caused by the 
decommissioning of the Richmond VOR, which provided navigation 
information for the instrument procedures at this airport, as part of 
the VOR MON Program.

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.
