Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 201 / Monday, October 19, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 63085 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR), Part 71 by 

establishing Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 6.0-mile radius of Oceana 

County Airport, Hart/Shelby, MI, to 

accommodate new Standard Instrument 

Approach Procedures at the airport. 

This action enhances the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 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. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

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 

Class E airspace at the Missouri airports 

listed in this document. 

History 

On July 17th, 2015, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with FRONTMATTER
63086 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 201 / Monday, October 19, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Chillicothe Municipal Airport, 

Chillicothe, MO; Cuba Municipal 

Airport, Cuba, MO; Farmington 

Regional Airport, Farmington, MO; 

Lamar Municipal Airport, Lamar, MO; 

Mountain View Airport, Mountain 

View, MO; Nevada Municipal Airport, 

Nevada, MO; and Poplar Bluff 

Municipal Airport, Poplar Bluff, MO (80 

FR 42436). 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 7400.9Z dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.9Z, airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015. FAA 

Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

for new standard instrument approach 

procedures at Chillicothe Municipal 

Airport, Chillicothe, MO; Cuba 

Municipal Airport, Cuba, MO; 

Farmington Regional Airport, 

Farmington, MO; Lamar Municipal 

Airport, Lamar, MO; Mountain View 

Airport, Mountain View, MO; Nevada 

Municipal Airport, Nevada, MO; and 

Poplar Bluff Municipal Airport, Poplar 

Bluff, MO. Also, Class E airspace 

extending upward from the surface is 

amended at Farmington Regional 

Airport, Farmington, MO. Airspace 

reconfiguration is necessary due to the 

decommissioning of NDBs and/or 

cancellation of the NDB approach at 

each airport. Additionally, geographic 

coordinates are adjusted for Lamar 

Municipal Airport, Lamar, MO; Nevada 

Municipal Airport, Nevada, MO; and 

Poplar Bluff Municipal Airport, Poplar 

Bluff, MO, to coincide with the FAAs 

aeronautical database. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. This airspace action is 

not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exists 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
