Proposed Establishment of Class D 

and Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Los Angeles, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

establish Class D airspace at Los 

Angeles International Airport, Los 

Angeles, CA. Controlled airspace is 

necessary to contain potential missed 

approaches at Los Angeles International 

Airport. The FAA is proposing this 

action to enhance the safety and 

management of aircraft operations at the 

airport. This action also would edit 

Class E airspace by adding the 

geographic coordinates and the airport 

name to the airspace designation. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or August 1, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this 

proposal to the U.S. Department of

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 establishing Class D 

airspace at Los Angeles International 

Airport, Los Angeles, CA for 

containment of potential missed 

approaches at Los Angeles International 

Airport. This action is based on the 

results of a study conducted by the Los 

Angeles VFR Task Force, and the Los 

Angeles Class B Workgroup. This action 

would further enhance the safety and 

management of aircraft operations at the 

airport. This action also would edit 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface by adding 

‘‘Los Angeles International Airport, CA’’ 

and ‘‘lat. 33°56′33′′ N., long. 118°24′26′′ 

W.’’ to the airspace designation. 

Class D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

5000 and 6005, respectively, 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 D and Class E airspace 

designation 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 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it establishes 

additional controlled airspace at Los 

Angeles International Airport, Los 

Angeles, CA.

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, pursuant to the 

authority delegated to me, the Federal 

Aviation Administration proposes to 

amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

B, C, D AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIR 

TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND

1963 Comp., p. 389. 

§ 71.1 [Amended] 

2. The incorporation by reference in 

14 CFR 71.1 of the Federal Aviation 

Administration Order 7400.9U,
