System, which describes the application 

procedure. 

The Proposal 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 

CFR), part 71 by modifying Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface for standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Captain Jack Thomas/El Dorado Airport, 

El Dorado, KS. Airspace reconfiguration 

is necessary due to the 

decommissioning of the El Dorado NDB 

and the cancellation of the NDB 

approach. Controlled airspace is 

necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. Geographic coordinates would 

also be updated to coincide with the 

FAA’s aeronautical database. 

Class E airspace areas 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 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

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 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 would modify controlled 

airspace at Captain Jack Thomas/El 

Dorado Airport, El Dorado, KS.
