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 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 

amend the Syracuse, NY, Class C 

airspace area to maintain efficient 

airport operations. 

Comments Invited 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in this proposed rulemaking 

by submitting such written data, views,

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

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 Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 to modify the Syracuse 

Hancock International Airport Class C 

airspace area by removing a cutout from 

the Class C surface area that excludes 

the airspace within a 0.75-nautical mile 

radius of the former Michael Field/

Onondaga Flight School Airport. The 

sole purpose of the exclusion was to 

allow aircraft to operate freely to and 

from that airport without the need to 

contact air traffic control (ATC). Since 

the former airport is now permanently 

closed, the purpose for the exclusion no 

longer exists; therefore, the FAA is 

proposing to remove the words ‘‘. . . 

excluding that airspace within a 0.75- 

mile radius of Michael Field/Onondaga 

Flight School Airport . . . ;’’ as well as 

the words ‘‘Michael Field/Onondaga 

Flight School Airport, NY (lat. 43°10′45′′ 

N., long. 76°07′29′′ W.),’’ from the Class 

C airspace description. 

Class C airspace areas are published 

in paragraph 4000 of FAA Order 

7400.9Z dated August 6, 2015, and 

effective September 15, 2015, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class C airspace description 

listed in this document would be 

subsequently published in the Order. 

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 Department of 

Transportation (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 proposed 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 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
