Regional Airport, respectively. Additionally, the geographic 
coordinates for Taylor Airport will be adjusted.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On January 20, 2011, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend controlled airspace at Taylor, 
AZ (76 FR 3570). Interested parties were invited to participate in this 
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the 
FAA. No comments were received. Subsequent to publication, the FAA 
found the geographic coordinates for Taylor Airport needed to be 
adjusted to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. This action 
makes the adjustment. Also, the airport names have been changed: Taylor 
Municipal Airport to Taylor Airport, and Show Low Municipal Airport to 
Show Low Regional Airport. With the exception of editorial changes, and 
the changes described above, this rule is the same as that proposed in 
the NPRM.
    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 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 modifying Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface at Taylor Airport, Taylor, AZ, to accommodate IFR 
aircraft using the CAMBO One Departure, and the RNAV standard 
instrument approach procedures at the airport. This action is necessary 
for the safety and management of IFR operations. The geographic 
coordinates for Taylor Airport will be adjusted to coincide with the 
FAA's aeronautical database. Also, Taylor Municipal Airport has been 
renamed Taylor Airport and Show Low Municipal Airport has been renamed 
Show Low Regional 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. 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

[[Page 18379]]

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 Taylor Airport, Taylor, 
AZ.
