SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On July 21, 2011, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to amend Class E 

airspace for Bryan, OH, reconfiguring 

controlled airspace at Williams County 

Airport (76 FR 43614) Docket No. FAA– 

2011–0606. 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 7400.9V 

dated August 9, 2011, and effective 

September 15, 2011, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

Part 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

amending Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

for the Bryan, OH, area. 

Decommissioning of the Bryan NDB and 

cancellation of the NDB approach at 

Williams County Airport has made 

reconfiguration of the airspace 

necessary for the 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. 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 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

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 

controlled airspace at Williams County 

Airport, Bryan, OH.
