[Docket No. FAA–2010–0936; Airspace 

Docket No. 10–AEA–23] 

Amendment of Class E Airspace and 

Revocation of Class E Airspace; 

Easton, MD 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

surface airspace and airspace 700 feet 

above the surface, and removes Class E 

airspace designated as an extension to 

Class D airspace at Easton, MD. The 

Easton Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) 

has been decommissioned and new 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures (SIAPs) have been 

developed for Easton Airport/Newnam 

Field. This action enhances the safety 

and airspace management of Instrument 

Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the 

airport. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, May 5, 2011. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approves this incorporation by reference 

action under title 1, Code of Federal 

Regulations, part 51, subject to the 

annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 

and publication of conforming 

amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On October 22, 2010, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 

Class E surface airspace and airspace 

700 feet above the surface, and remove 

Class E airspace designated as an 

extension to Class D airspace at Easton, 

MD (75 FR 65250) Docket No. FAA– 

2010–0936. 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 E 

airspace designations are published in 

paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9U 

dated August 18, 2010, and effective 

September 15, 2010, 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. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends the Class E surface airspace and 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface to 

accommodate new SIAPs developed for 

Easton Airport/Newnam Field, Easton, 

MD, as the Easton NDB has been 

decommissioned. This eliminates the 

need for Class E airspace designated as 

an extension to Class D surface area, 

and, therefore, will be removed for the 

continued safety and management of 

IFR operations at the airport. 

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, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

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 

amends Class E airspace at Easton, MD.
