Establishment of Class E Airspace; 

Riverside/Rubidoux Flabob Airport, 

Riverside, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action will establish 

Class E airspace at Riverside/Rubidoux 

Flabob Airport, Riverside, CA, to 

accommodate aircraft using a new VHF 

Omni-Directional Radio Range (VOR) 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedure (SIAP) at Riverside/Rubidoux 

Flabob Airport. This will improve the 

safety of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 

aircraft executing the new VOR SIAPs at 

the airport. This action also makes an 

adjustment to the geographic 

coordinates of the airport. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, April 8, 

2010. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA 

Order 7400.9 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On October 14, 2009, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to 

establish controlled airspace at 

Riverside/Rubidoux Flabob Airport, 

Riverside, CA (74 FR 52704). 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 7400.9T signed August 27, 2009, 

and effective September 15, 2009, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in that Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

establishing Class E airspace at 

Riverside/Rubidoux Flabob Airport, 

Riverside, CA. Controlled airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface is necessary to accommodate 

IFR aircraft executing new VOR SIAPs 

at Riverside/Rubidoux Flabob Airport. 

This action also adjusts the geographic 

coordinates of the airport to coincide 

with the FAA’s National Aeronautical 

Charting Office. 

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 FAAs authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

Section 106 discusses 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory Information 

On August 7, 2008, we published a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

entitled ‘‘Drawbridge Operation 

Regulations’’; Harlem River, New York, 

in the Federal Register (73 FR 45922). 

We received two letters commenting on 

the proposed rule. No public meeting 

was requested, and none was held. 

On November 10, 2008, we published 

a supplemental notice of proposed 

rulemaking (SNPRM) entitled 

‘‘Drawbridge Operation Regulations’’, 

Harlem River, New York, in the Federal 

Register (73 FR 66571). We received one 

comment letter in response to our 

(SNPRM). No public meeting was 

requested, and none was held. 

Background and Purpose 

The drawbridge operation regulations 

for the Harlem River are listed at 33 CFR 

117.789, and require all the moveable 

bridges across the Harlem River, except 

the Spuyten Duyvil Bridge, to open on 

signal from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. after a 

four-hour notice is given. From 5 p.m. 

through 10 a.m., all the bridges, except 

the Spuyten Duyvil Bridge, are not 

required to open for vessel traffic. 

The eleven moveable bridges across 

the Harlem River provide the following 

vertical clearances in the closed 

position: 

The 103rd Street Bridge has a vertical 

clearance of 55 feet at mean high water, 

and 60 feet at mean low water in the 

closed position. 

The 125th Street Bridge has a vertical 

clearance of 54 feet at mean high water 

and 59 feet at mean low water in the 

closed position. 

The Willis Avenue Bridge has a 

vertical clearance of 24 feet at mean 

high water and 30 feet at mean low 

water in the closed position. 

The Third Avenue Bridge has a 

vertical clearance of 25 feet at mean 

high water and 30 feet at mean low 

water in the closed position. 

The Metro North Park Avenue Bridge 

has a vertical clearance of 25 feet at 

mean high water and 30 feet at mean 

low water in the closed position. 

The Madison Avenue Bridge has a 

vertical clearance of 25 feet at mean 

high water and 29 feet at mean low 

water in the closed position. 

The 145th Street Bridge has a vertical 

clearance of 25 feet at mean high water 

and 30 feet at mean low water in the 

closed position. 

The Macombs Dam Bridge has a 

vertical clearance of 27 feet at mean 

high water and 32 feet at mean low 

water in the closed position. 

The 207th Street Bridge has a vertical 

clearance of 26 feet at mean high water 

and 30 feet at mean low water in the 

closed position. 

The Broadway Bridge has a vertical 

clearance of 24 feet at mean high water 

and 29 feet at mean low water in the 

closed position. 

The Spuyten Duyvil Bridge has a 

vertical clearance of 5 feet at mean high 

water and 9 feet at mean low water in 

the closed position. 

The bridges across the Harlem River, 

except the Spuyten Duyvil Bridge, have 

a minimum of 24 feet at mean high 

water. The Spuyten Duyvil Bridge is 

much lower in vertical clearance, and as 

a result, is required under the existing 

regulations to open on signal at all times 

for the passage of vessel traffic. 

Most vessel operators that normally 

frequent the Harlem River utilize vessels 

that fit under the existing bridges in the 

closed position and do not require 

bridge openings. 

Coast Guard policy is that all bridges 

over navigable waterways should open 

for vessel traffic at any time, either on 

signal, or after some reasonable advance 

notice is given. 

As a result the Coast Guard is 

changing the drawbridge operation
