Docket No. 11–ASO–46] 

Establishment of Class E Airspace; 

Princeton, KY 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class 

E Airspace at Princeton, KY, to 

accommodate the new Area Navigation 

(RNAV) Global Positioning System 

(GPS) Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures serving Princeton-Caldwell 

County Airport. This action enhances 

the safety and airspace management of 

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations 

within the National Airspace System. 

This action also makes a minor 

adjustment to the geographic 

coordinates of the airport. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, March 7, 

2013. The Director of the Federal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On October 24, 2012, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to 

establish Class E airspace at Princeton, 

KY (77 FR 64919) Docket No. FAA– 

2011–1444. Subsequent to publication,

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 6 / Wednesday, January 9, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 1751 

the FAA found a typographical error in 

the longitude coordinates. This action 

makes the correction. 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 7400.9W 

dated August 8, 2012, and effective 

September 15, 2012, 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. 

With the exception of editorial changes, 

and the changes described above, this 

rule is the same as that proposed in the 

NPRM. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

establishes the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Princeton, KY, to provide 

the controlled airspace required to 

accommodate the new RNAV GPS 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures developed for PrincetonCaldwell County Airport. This action is 

necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. Also, the longitude coordinates 

of the airport are corrected from ‘long. 

87° 51′10′′25′′ W to ‘long. 87°51′25′′ W. 

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, is non-controversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. 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 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 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 

Princeton-Caldwell County Airport, 

Princeton, KY. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. This airspace action is 

not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

Modification of VOR Federal Airway V– 

170 in the Vicinity of Devils Lake, ND 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies VHF 

Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal 

airway V–170 between Devils Lake, ND 

(DVL), and Jamestown, ND (JMS). The 

FAA is taking this action to ensure the 

airway between DVL and JMS has the 

necessary clearance from the western 

boundary of the newly established 

restricted area R–5402, Devils Lake, ND, 

to support non-radar separation 

requirements when the restricted area is 

active. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, March

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51,

a notice of proposed rulemaking to 

amend VOR Federal airway V–170 by 

inserting a slight ‘‘dogleg,’’ to the west, 

between DVL and JMS to provide the 

required non-radar separation and 

airway clearance from the newly 

established R–5402, Devils Lake, ND (77 

FR 54860). Interested parties were
