Amendment of the Class E Airspace; Coudersport, PA; and Revocation of Class E Airspace; Galeton, PA, 1268-1269 [2019-28507]

Download as PDF 1268 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 7 / Friday, January 10, 2020 / Rules and Regulations 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 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. Adoption of the Amendment In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation Administration amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows: PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, B, C, D, AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIR TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS 1.

700 feet above the surface at Cherry Springs Airport, Galeton, PA. This 
action is due to an airspace review caused by the closure of the Cherry 
Spring Airport. The geographic coordinates of Charles Cole Memorial

    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

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 E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface at Charles Cole Memorial Hospital Heliport, Coudersport, 
PA, and revokes the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface at Cherry Springs

[[Page 1269]]

Airport, Galeton, PA, to support IFR operations at Charles Cole 
Memorial Hospital Heliport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal 
Register (84 FR 53346; October 7, 2019) for Docket No. FAA-2019-0757 to 
amend the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface at Charles Cole Memorial Hospital Heliport, Coudersport, PA, 
and revoke the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface at Cherry Springs Airport, Galeton, PA. Interested parties 
were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting 
written comments on the proposal to the FAA. One comment was received. 
The FAA reviewed the comment and found that it does not relate to this 
action so no response is provided.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of 
FAA Order 7400.11D, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15, 
2019, 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 7400.11D, Airspace Designations and 
Reporting Points, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15, 
2019. FAA Order 7400.11D is publicly available as listed in the 
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11D 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:
    Amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface to within a 6.3-mile radius (increased from an 6-mile 
radius) of Charles Cole Memorial Hospital Heliport, Coudersport, PA; 
removes the exclusionary language from the airspace legal description 
as it is no longer required; and updates the geographic coordinates of 
Charles Cole Memorial Hospital Heliport to coincide with the FAA's 
aeronautical database;
    And removes the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface at Cherry Springs Airport, Galeton, PA, due to the 
closure of the airport.
    This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the 
closure of the Cherry Springs Airport, Galeton, PA.
    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, 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.
