action also would make a minor 

adjustment to the airport’s geographic 

coordinates listed in Class D and Class 

E airspace. This action, initiated by the 

biennial review of the PortlandHillsboro airspace area, would enhance 

the safety and management of aircraft 

operations at the airport. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before February 4, 2013.

Persons interested in being placed on

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, 

(202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory 

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class E 

airspace designated as an extension to 

Class D surface area. The FAA proposes 

to reduce the size of the Class E airspace 

to the northwest, remove the Class E 

airspace to the south and create 

additional Class E airspace south 

southeast of the Portland-Hillsboro 

Airport. Also, the geographic 

coordinates of Portland-Hillsboro 

Airport, listed under Class D and Class 

E airspace, would be updated to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. This action was initiated by a 

biennial review of the airspace and is 

necessary for the safety and 

management of aircraft departing and 

arriving under IFR operations at the 

airport. 

Class D airspace and Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

5000, 6002 and 6004, respectively, 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 D and Class E 

airspace designations listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in this Order. 

The FAA has determined this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 

Therefore, this proposed 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 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

Section 106, describes the authority for 

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 the 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 PortlandHillsboro Airport, Hillsboro, OR. 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
