**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 inthe 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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

**Establishment of Class E Airspace; Bryce Canyon, UT** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Final rule.

**SUMMARY :**  This action will establish Class E airspace at Bryce Canyon, UT, to accommodate aircraft using a new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) at Bryce Canyon Airport. This will improve the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

**DATES :**  Effective date, 0901 UTC, September 23, 2010. 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 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 Regulatory Flexibility Act.

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 establishes controlled airspace at Bryce Canyon Airport, Bryce Canyon, UT. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
