Docket No. 16–ASW–2] 

Proposed Amendment of Class E 

Airspace; Clovis, NM 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

modify Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Portales Municipal Airport, Clovis, 

NM. This action is necessary due to the 

decommissioning of the Portales nondirectional radio beacon (NDB), 

cancellation of NDB approaches at 

Portales Municipal Airport, and 

implementation of area navigation 

(RNAV) procedures at the airport. This 

action will also update the geographic 

coordinates for Portales Municipal 

Airport to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. This proposal 

would enhance the safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations in the Clovis, NM, 

airspace area. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before April 25, 2016.

Availability and Summary of 

Documents Proposed for Incorporation 

by Reference 

This document would amend FAA 

Order 7400.9Z, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, dated August 6, 

2015, and effective September 15, 2015. 

FAA Order 7400.9Z is publicly available 

as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.9Z 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 E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Portales 

Municipal Airport, Clovis, NM. After a 

review of the airspace, the FAA found 

modification of the airspace necessary 

due to the decommissioning of the 

Portales NDB, cancellation of NDB 

approaches at Portales Municipal 

Airport, and implementation of RNAV 

procedures at the airport. Controlled 

airspace is necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations in 

standard instrument approach 

procedures at the airport. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015, 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. 

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.
