existing Class D and Class E airspace in 

the Yuma, AZ, area to accommodate 

aircraft arriving and departing Somerton 

Airport, Somerton, AZ. This action will 

also make a minor correction to the legal

Yuma MCAS-Yuma International 

Airport and will enhance the safety and 

management of aircraft operations at 

both airports. 

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, 

September 23, 2010. The Director of the 

Federal Register approves this 

incorporation by reference action under

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On March 25, 2010, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to 

modify Class D and E airspace at Yuma, 

AZ (75 FR 14382). 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 and E airspace designations 

are published in paragraph 5000 and 

6002 respectively, of FAA Order 

7400.9T signed August 27, 2009, and 

effective September 15, 2009, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class D and 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 D airspace, and Class E 

airspace designated as surface area in 

the Yuma, AZ, area. The Yuma MCASYuma International Airport airspace 

area will be modified to ensure the 

containment of aircraft arriving and 

departing Somerton Airport, Somerton, 

AZ. This action enhances the safety and 

management of instrument flight rules 

operations in the Yuma, AZ, area. This 

action will also make a minor correction 

to the legal description for both Class D 

and E airspace to coincide FAA’s 

National Aeronautical Charting Office. 

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 will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified 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 

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 amends 

controlled airspace at Yuma, AZ.

Class E airspace at Bryce Canyon, UT, 

to accommodate aircraft using a new 

Area Navigation (RNAV) Global

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On November 18, 2009, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

NPRM to establish Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Bryce Canyon, UT (74 FR 

59492). The comments received 

prompted the FAA on April 26, 2010, to 

publish in the Federal Register a 

supplemental notice of proposed 

rulemaking to establish Class E surface 

airspace at Bryce Canyon, UT (75 FR 

21532). Interested parties were invited 

to participate in this rulemaking effort 

by submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. One comment was 

received in favor of the airspace change. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6002 and 6005, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9T 

signed August 27, 2009, and effective 

September 15, 2009, 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 that 

Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

establishing Class E surface airspace, 

and Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface, at Bryce 

Canyon Airport, to accommodate IFR 

aircraft executing new RNAV GPS 

SIAPs at the airport. This action is 

necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

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 will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified this rule, when promulgated, 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities under the criteria of the

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 establishes 

controlled airspace at Bryce Canyon 

Airport, Bryce Canyon, UT.
