SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On January 31, 2011, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 

Class E airspace for Bedford, IN, 

creating additional controlled airspace 

at Bedford Medical Center Heliport (76 

FR 5301) Docket No. FAA–2010–1026. 

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 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 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

amending Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to accommodate the new COPTER 

RNAV (POINT-IN-SPACE) standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Bedford Medical Center Heliport, 

Bedford, IN. This action is necessary for 

the safety and management of IFR 

operations at the heliport. 

The FAA has determined that 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 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 amends 

controlled airspace at Bedford Medical 

Center Heliport, Bedford, IN.

supplemental notice of proposed 

rulemaking to expand Class E airspace 

to include Regional Health System 

Heliport, as well as amending existing 

Class E airspace at Kokomo Municipal 

Airport, Kokomo, IN. (76 FR 1378) 

Docket No. FAA–2010–0605. 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 

E airspace designations are published in 

paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9U

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

adding Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to accommodate COPTER RNAV 

standard instrument approach 

procedures at Regional Health System 

Heliport, Kokomo, IN, and amends 

existing Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Kokomo Municipal Airport. 

Adjustments to geographic coordinates 

will be made, as well as the name 

change of Logansport Municipal Airport 

to Logansport/Cass County Airport. This 

action is necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations within 

the National Airspace System. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are
