Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
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 Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 by:
Modifying Class D airspace, and Class
E surface area airspace at Felts Field
Airport, Spokane, WA, by expanding an
area that would be extended to the
Spokane International Airport Class C
surface area on the southwest and
expanded 1.2 miles on the northeast;
and
Establishing Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface within a 4-mile radius of
Felts Field Airport, Spokane, WA, and
within 1.8 miles each side of the 53°
bearing from the airport extending from
the 4-mile radius to 6.5 miles from the
airport, and within 3.0 miles each side
of the 75° bearing from the point in
space at (Lat. 47°37′46″ N.,
long.117°26′30″ W), extending 12.6
miles from the point in space
coordinates. After a biennial review of
the airspace, the FAA found
modification of the airspace necessary
for the safety and management of
aircraft departing and arriving under
IFR operations at the airport.
Class D and Class E airspace
designations are published in paragraph
5000, 6002, and 6005, respectively, of
FAA Order 7400.11C, dated August 13,
2018 and effective September 15, 2018,
which is incorporated by reference in 14
PO 00000
Frm 00034
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
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
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 will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, it
is certified that this rule, when
promulgated, would 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 will 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.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
The U.S. Department of Labor
(Department) is issuing a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that, if
finalized, would give States increased
flexibility in their administration of
Employment Service (ES) activities
funded under the Wagner-Peyser Act.
The proposed changes would modernize
the regulations to align them with the
flexibility allowed under the Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act
(WIOA). The changes would also give
States the flexibility to staff employment
and farmworker-outreach services in the
most effective and efficient way, using
a combination of State employees, local
government employees, contracted
services, and other staffing models in
the way that makes the most sense for
them. This in turn could leave more
resources to help employers find
employees, and to help employees find
the work they need. The proposed
changes are also consistent with
Executive Order (E.O.) 13777, which
requires the Department to identify
outdated, inefficient, unnecessary, or
overly burdensome regulations that
should be repealed, replaced, or
modified.

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 would amend Class D and Class E airspace at Felts Field, Spokane,
WA, to support IFR operations at the airport.
Comments Invited
Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above. Persons wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document proposes to amend 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 Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by:
Modifying Class D airspace, and Class E surface area airspace at
Felts Field Airport, Spokane, WA, by expanding an area that would be
extended to the Spokane International Airport Class C surface area on
the southwest and expanded 1.2 miles on the northeast; and
Establishing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface within a 4-mile radius of Felts Field Airport, Spokane, WA,
and within 1.8 miles each side of the 53[deg] bearing from the airport
extending from the 4-mile radius to 6.5 miles from the airport, and
within 3.0 miles each side of the 75[deg] bearing from the point in
space at (Lat. 47[deg]37'46'' N., long.117[deg]26'30'' W), extending
12.6 miles from the point in space coordinates. After a biennial review
of the airspace, the FAA found modification of the airspace necessary
for the safety and management of aircraft departing and arriving under
IFR operations at the airport.
Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in
paragraph 5000, 6002, 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 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 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 will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, would 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 will 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.
