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

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 240 / Friday, December 13, 2019 / Rules and Regulations
scope of that authority as it establishes
Class E airspace at St. Simons Island
Airport, St. Simons, GA, and Brunswick
Golden Isles Airport, Brunswick, GA, as
well as amend Class E airspace in
Brunswick, GA to support IFR
operations in the area. Also, this action
removes outdated airspace in the area.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (84 FR 40301, August 14, 2019)
for Docket No. FAA–2019–0591 to
establish Class E surface airspace at St.
Simons Island Airport, St. Simons, GA,
and Brunswick Golden Isle Airport,
Brunswick, GA, and amend Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet or more above the surface at
Brunswick, GA, by updating the airport
names to St. Simons Island Airport
(formerly Brunswick/MalcolmMcKinnon Airport), and Brunswick
Golden Isles Airport (formerly Glynco
Jetport Airport), and updating the
geographic coordinates of St. Simons
Island Airport to coincide with the
FAA’s aeronautical database.
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
proposal to the FAA. One comment
supporting the action was received.
Class E airspace designations are
published in Paragraphs 6002 and 6005,
respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11D,
dated August 8, 2019, and effective
September 15, 2019, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
part 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document will
be published subsequently in the Order.

Golden Isles Airport (previously Glynco
Jetport Airport). Also, the geographic
coordinates of St. Simons Island Airport
are adjusted to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database.
These changes are necessary for
continued safety and management of
IFR operations at this airport.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on
September 15.
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
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 5–6.5a. 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.
