This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the decommissioning of the Bowling Green 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:44 Jun 05, 2019 Jkt 247001 26343 economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Environmental Review 14 CFR Part 71 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: khammond on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with RULES 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 the Class D airspace and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Richard Lloyd Jones Jr. Airport, Tulsa, OK, and the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at William R. Pogue Municipal Airport, Sand Springs, OK, to support instrument flight rule operations at these airports. History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register (84 FR 10453; March 21, 2019) for Docket No. FAA–2019–0110 to amend the Class D airspace and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Richard Lloyd Jones Jr. Airport, Tulsa, OK, and the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at William R. Pogue Municipal Airport, Sand Springs, OK. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. Two comments were received. Neither comment addressed the proposed amendments but opposed the decommissioning of the Glenpool VOR. The FAA provides the following response. The proposed decommissioning of the Glenpool VOR was addressed in airspace case 17–ASW–03NR. The public was given the opportunity to comment on the proposal between February 8, 2017, and April 10, 2017. No objections to the proposal were received. The Service Area Discontinuance Committee reviewed the aeronautical study and recommended the VOR be decommissioned. The Service Area Directors approved the VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:44 Jun 05, 2019 Jkt 247001 recommendation on June 9, 2017, and the Glenpool VOR was decommissioned on February 28, 2019. Subsequent to publication, the FAA discovered a typographic error in the geographic coordinates for the Richard Lloyd Jones Jr.: RWY 01L–LOC (‘‘long. 95°59′07″ W’’ should be ‘‘long. 95°59′01″ W’’). That error is corrected in this action. Class D and E airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000 and 6005, respectively, 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 and E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

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: Amending the Class D airspace at Richard Lloyd Jones Jr. Airport, Tulsa, OK, by removing the Glenpool VOR/ DME and the associated extension to the south of the airport from the airspace legal description; adding an extension 1 mile each side of the 193° bearing from the Richard Lloyd Jones Jr.: RWY 01L– LOC extending from the 4-mile radius to 4.1 miles south of the airport; updating the location in the header of the airspace legal description to Tulsa, OK (previously Tulsa Richard Lloyd Jones Jr. Airport, OK), to comply with FAA Order 7400.2M, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters; removing the city associated with the airport from the airspace legal description to comply with FAA Order 7400.2M; updating the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database; making an editorial change replacing the outdated term ‘‘Airport/ Facility Directory’’ with ‘‘Chart Supplement’’; and correcting a typographical error in the geographic coordinates for the Richard Lloyd Jones Jr.: RWY 01L–LOC; Amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 6.5-mile radius PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 (increased from a 6.4-mile radius) of Richard Lloyd Jones Jr. Airport; and removing the city associated with the airport from the airspace legal description to comply with FAA Order 7400.2M; And amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 6.5-mile radius (decreased from a 7.2-mile radius) of the William R. Pogue Municipal Airport, Sand Springs, OK; removing the Glenpool VOR/DME and the associated extension northwest of the William R. Pogue Municipal Airport from the Tulsa, OK, from the airspace legal description; and removing the city associated with the airport from the airspace legal description to comply with FAA Order 7400.2M. This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the decommissioning of the Glenpool VOR, which provided navigation information for the instrument procedures at these airports, as part of the VOR MON Program.

Regulatory History On October 10, 2018, the Postal Service filed a notice with the PRC in Docket No. R2019–1 of mailing services price adjustments, effective on January 27, 2019. In addition, on October 17, 2018, the Postal Service published a notice of proposed product and price changes in the Federal Register entitled ‘‘International Mailing Services: Proposed Product and Price Changes— III. Effective June 23, 2019 As a result, effective June 23, 2019, mailers must mail items weighing 15.994 ounces or more with First-Class Package International Service, Priority Mail Express International service, or Priority Mail International service. If a mailer, counter to the Postal Service’s regulations, presents an FCMI large envelope (flat) weighing above the newly established weight limit, the Postal Service. Final rule. SUMMARY: Paragraph 6005 Class E Airspace Areas Extending Upward From 700 Feet or More Above the Surface of the Earth. * The Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) favorably reviewed an updated weight limitation for FirstClass Mail International® (FCMI) large envelopes (flats) in PRC Order No. 4932, issued December 19, 2018, in PRC Docket No. MC2019–3. On March 11, 2019, in a filing at the PRC, the Postal Service announced an implementation date of June 23, 2019, for the revised FCMI large envelopes (flats) maximum weight limitation. The Postal Service has made the accompanying classification changes to Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) in order to reflect this revised weight limitation. DATES: Effective June 23, 2019. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michelle Lassiter at 202–268–2914. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Postal Service is revising several sections of Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM), to reflect classification changes to Mailing Services. These changes implement a lower maximum weight limit on FCMI large envelopes (flats), to bring them closer to limits established by the Universal Postal Union (UPU). ACTION: ASW OK D Tulsa, OK [Amended] Richard Lloyd Jones Jr. Airport, OK (Lat. 36°02′23″ N, long. 95°59′05″ W) Richard Lloyd Jones Jr.: RWY 01L–LOC (Lat. 36°02′52″ N, long. 95°59′01″ W) That airspace extending upward from the surface to and including 3,100 feet MSL within a 4-mile radius of Richard Lloyd Jones Jr. Airport, and within 1 mile each side of the 193° bearing from the Richard Lloyd Jones Jr.: RWY 01L–LOC extending from the 4-mile radius to 4.1 miles south of the airport, excluding that airspace within the Tulsa International Airport, OK, Class C airspace area. This Class D airspace area is effective during the specific dates and times established in advance by a Notice to Airmen. The effective date and time will thereafter be continuously published in the Chart Supplement. CPI’’ (83 FR 52351). In the proposed rule, the Postal Service stated that on October 10, 2018, it also filed a notice with the PRC in Docket No. MC2019–3, proposing a change in the maximum weight limit for FCMI large envelopes (flats) from the current 64 ounces to under 16 ounces (the actual weight limit is 15.994 ounces, to accommodate Postal Service systems that round to three decimal places and thus round items that weigh 15.995–15.999 ounces up to 16 ounces). This change would more closely align the Postal Service’s definition of FCMI large envelopes (flats) with the UPU Convention’s weight limit, which allows a maximum weight of 500 grams (17.6 ounces) for flat-shaped letter post items. II. Postal Regulatory Commission Orders Because the proposed change to FCMI large envelopes (flats) upper weight limit that was the subject of Docket No. MC2019–3 was pending at the time the PRC was scheduled to complete its review in Docket No. R2019–1, the PRC issued an interim order on October 19, 2018, in Docket No. R2019–1. That interim order required the Postal Service to revise its filing in the R2019– 1 docket so that the Postal Service’s proposed changes in the R2019–1 docket would not include the proposed revision to the FCMI large envelopes (flats) maximum weight limit. See PRC Order No. 4859, Interim Order Relating to Outbound Single-Piece First-Class Mail International Flats, Docket No. R2019–1, October 19, 2018. The PRC subsequently favorably reviewed the revised maximum weight limit for FCMI large envelopes (flats) in Order No. 4932, issued December 19, 2018, in Docket No. MC2019–3. On March 11, 2019, the Postal Service announced an implementation date of June 23, 2019, for the revised FCMI large envelopes (flats) maximum weight limit. See Notice of the United States Postal Service of Effective Date of Update to the Maximum Weight Limit for Outbound Single-Piece First-Class Mail International Large Envelopes (Flats) in the Mail Classification Schedule, PRC Docket No. MC2019–3 (March 11, 2019).

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 the Class D airspace and Class E airspace extending upward 
from 700 feet above the surface at Richard Lloyd Jones Jr. Airport, 
Tulsa, OK, and the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface at William R. Pogue Municipal Airport, Sand Springs, 
OK, to support instrument flight rule operations at these airports.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal 
Register (84 FR 10453; March 21, 2019) for Docket No. FAA-2019-0110 to 
amend the Class D airspace and Class E airspace extending upward from 
700 feet above the surface at Richard Lloyd Jones Jr. Airport, Tulsa, 
OK, and the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface at William R. Pogue Municipal Airport, Sand Springs, OK. 
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. Two 
comments were received. Neither comment addressed the proposed 
amendments but opposed the decommissioning of the Glenpool VOR. The FAA 
provides the following response.
    The proposed decommissioning of the Glenpool VOR was addressed in 
airspace case 17-ASW-03NR. The public was given the opportunity to 
comment on the proposal between February 8, 2017, and April 10, 2017. 
No objections to the proposal were received. The Service Area 
Discontinuance Committee reviewed the aeronautical study and 
recommended the VOR be decommissioned. The Service Area Directors 
approved the recommendation on June 9, 2017, and the Glenpool VOR was 
decommissioned on February 28, 2019.
    Subsequent to publication, the FAA discovered a typographic error 
in the geographic coordinates for the Richard Lloyd Jones Jr.: RWY 01L-
LOC (``long. 95[deg]59'07'' W'' should be ``long. 95[deg]59'01'' W''). 
That error is corrected in this action.
    Class D and E airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000 
and 6005, respectively, 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 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 7400.11C, 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.

with the airport from the airspace legal description to comply with FAA 
Order 7400.2M.
    This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the 
decommissioning of the Glenpool 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.
