Administration (FAA), Office of Air 

Traffic Airspace Management, ATA– 

400, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., 

Washington, DC 20591, or by calling 

(202) 267–8783. Communications must 

identify both docket numbers for this 

notice. Persons interested in being

Office of Rulemaking, (202) 267–9677, 

to request a copy of Advisory Circular 

No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend 

Class D and E surface airspace at 

Manassas Municipal/Harry P. Davis 

Airport, Manassas, VA. Cancellation of 

the VOR approach into the airport has 

made this action necessary. Class E 

airspace designated as an extension to 

Class D airspace is no longer needed 

and therefore, would be removed. This 

action would enhance the safety and 

management of IFR operations at 

Manassas Municipal/Harry P. Davis 

Airport. 

Class D and E airspace designations 

are published in Paragraphs 5000, 6002 

and 6004, respectively, of FAA Order 

7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010, and 

effective September 15, 2011, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

would be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. It, 

therefore, (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 

proposed rule, when promulgated, 

would 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 United States Code. 

Subtitle I, 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 proposed 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 proposed regulation is 

within the scope of that authority as it 

proposes to remove Class E airspace and 

amend Class D and E airspace at 

Manassas, VA.
