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 modifies Class D and Class E airspace at Mountain Home Air Force 
Base Airport, Mountain Home, ID, to ensure the safety and management of 
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal 
Register (85 FR 20451; April 13, 2020) for Docket No. FAA-2020-0282 to 
modify Class D and Class E at Mountain Home Air Force Base Airport, 
Mountain Home, ID. 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 D, E2, and E5 airspace designations are published in 
paragraphs 5000, 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 71.1. The Class E airspace 
designation 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 modifies Class D airspace at the Mountain Home Air Force Base 
Airport. This airspace area is described as follows: That airspace 
extending upward from the surface to and including 5,500 feet MSL 
within a 5-mile radius of Mountain Home AFB. 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.
    This action also modifies Class E airspace, designated as a surface 
area, to match the new Class D dimensions. This airspace area is 
described as follows: That airspace extending upward from the surface 
within a 5-mile radius of Mountain Home AFB. This Class E 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.
    Additionally, this action modifies Class E airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface. This airspace areas is 
described as follows: That airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface within a 7.2-mile radius of Mountain Home AFB.
    This action also modifies Class E airspace extending upward from 
1,200 feet above the surface. This airspace area is described as 
follows: That airspace extending upward from 1,200

[[Page 44689]]

feet above the surface within a 30-mile radius of Mountain Home AFB.
    Further, this action removes Mountain Home Municipal Airport from 
the legal description of the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 
feet or more above the surface.
    Lastly, this action implements two administrative amendments to the 
airspace legal descriptions. The term ``Airport/Facility Directory'' in 
the Class D description is updated to ``Chart Supplement''. The Class E 
airspace, designated as a surface area, is part-time. The following 
language has been added to the legal description: This Class E 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.
    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 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.
