Docket No. 12–AWP–5] 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Eureka, NV 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E 

airspace at Eureka Airport, Eureka, NV, 

to accommodate aircraft using Area 

Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning 

System (GPS) standard instrument 

approach procedures at the airport. This 

improves the safety and management of 

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations 

at the airport. 

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, August 

22, 2013. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA 

Order 7400.9 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On December 21, 2012, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to modify controlled airspace at Eureka, 

NV (77 FR 75594). Interested parties 

were invited to participate in this 

rulemaking effort by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

No comments were received. The FAA’s 

Terminal Products Group reassessed the 

proposal and on March 19, 2013, the 

FAA published in the Federal Register 

a supplemental notice of proposed 

rulemaking (SNPRM) to modify the 

airspace 1,200 feet above the surface 

southeast of the Eureka Airport, Eureka, 

NV (78 FR 16821). Interested parties 

were invited to participate in this 

rulemaking effort by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

No comments were received. This 

action modifies the airspace 1,200 feet 

above the surface by increasing the 

airspace area southeast of the Eureka 

Airport, Eureka, NV, to accommodate 

aircraft using the RNAV (GPS) standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Eureka Airport. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005, of FAA 

Order 7400.9W dated August 8, 2012, 

and effective September 15, 2012, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in that Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

modifying Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700/1,200 feet above the 

surface, at Eureka Airport, to 

accommodate IFR aircraft executing 

RNAV (GPS) standard instrument 

approach procedures at the airport. 

Additional controlled airspace 

extending upward from 1,200 feet above 

the surface is established to the 

northeast to contain the MINES (RNAV) 

ONE departure, and to the southeast for 

IFR operations. This action is necessary 

for the safety and management of IFR 

operations. 

The FAA has determined this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (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 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. The FAA’s 

authority to issue rules regarding 

aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the 

U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 

discusses 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 

controlled airspace at Eureka Airport, 

Eureka, NV. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. 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.

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On March 19, 2013, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend controlled airspace at Tuba 

City, AZ (78 FR 16823). 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 6006, of FAA 

Order 7400.9W dated August 8, 2012, 

and effective September 15, 2012, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in that Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

establishing Class E en route domestic 

airspace extending upward from 1,200 

feet above the surface, at the Tuba City 

VORTAC, Tuba City, AZ. This action 

aids in containing aircraft while in IFR 

conditions under control of Denver, 

Albuquerque and Salt Lake City 

ARTCCs by vectoring aircraft from en 

route airspace to terminal areas. 

The FAA has determined this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (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

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 establishes 

controlled airspace at Tuba City, AZ.

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental
