Federal Register Docket No. FAA– 

2012–0099, Airspace Docket No. 12– 

ASO–11, published on April 11, 2012 

(77 FR 21662), amends Class D airspace 

at Cape Canaveral Skid Strip, Cocoa 

Beach, FL. A typographical error was 

made in the regulatory text, stating the 

radius of controlled airspace at Cape 

Canaveral Skid Strip to be 4.4 miles, 

instead of 4.5 miles. This action corrects 

this error. Class D airspace designations 

are published in paragraph 5000 of FAA 

Order 74009.V, dated August 9, 2011, 

and effective September 15, 2011, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

Correction to Final Rule 

Accordingly, pursuant to the 

authority delegated to me, the radius of 

the controlled Class D airspace area for 

Cape Canaveral Skid Strip, Cocoa 

Beach, FL, as published in the Federal 

Register of April 11, 2012 (77 FR 21662) 

(FR Doc. 2012–8558) is corrected as 

follows: 

ASO FL D Cocoa Beach, FL [Corrected] 

Cape Canaveral Skid Strip, FL 

On page 21663, column 3, line 4 of 

the legal description, remove ‘‘within a 

4.4-mile radius of the Cape Canaveral 

Skid Strip, and insert ‘‘within a 4.5-mile 

radius of the Cape Canaveral Skid 

Strip.’’

Amendment of Class D and E 

Airspace; Baltimore, MD 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D 

and E airspace at Martin State Airport, 

Baltimore, MD. The geographic 

coordinates of the Baltimore VORTAC 

are being adjusted to coincide with the 

FAA’s aeronautical database, which 

show the correct coordinates. This does 

not affect the boundaries or operating 

requirements of the airspace. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, May 14, 

2012.

Fornito, Operations Support Group,

Administration, P.O. Box 20636,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

The FAA is adjusting the geographic 

location of Baltimore VORTAC, 

Baltimore, MD, to be in concert with the 

FAAs aeronautical database, which 

shows the correct coordinates. This is 

an administrative change and does not 

affect the boundaries or operating 

requirements of the airspace; therefore, 

notice and public procedures under 5 

U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. 

The Class D and E airspace 

designations are published in 

Paragraphs 5000, 6002 and 6004 of FAA 

order 7400.9V, dated August 9, 2011, 

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 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends the geographic coordinates in 

the legal description of Class D airspace 

and Class E surface airspace, for Martin 

State Airport, Baltimore, MD. This 

update brings the geographic 

coordinates in concert with the FAA’s 

Aeronautical Products database. 

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 amends controlled airspace at Martin 

State Airport, Baltimore, MD.

Flight Rule (IFR) operations at the 

airport.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On December 13, 2011, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class E airspace for the 

Omaha, NE, area, creating additional 

controlled airspace at Eppley Airfield 

(76 FR 77448) Docket No. FAA–2011– 

1126. 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 7400.9V dated 

August 9, 2011, and effective September 

15, 2011, 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 new standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Eppley Airfield, Omaha, NE. This action 

is necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

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 Eppley Airfield, 

Omaha, NE.
