Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 179 / Thursday, September 15, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 56967 

proposed rulemaking to amend 

controlled airspace at Grand Junction, 

CO (76 FR 40293). 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 D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

5000, 6002, 6004 and 6005, respectively, 

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 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 

modifying Class E airspace at Grand 

Junction Regional Airport, Grand 

Junction, CO. Additional controlled 

airspace extending upward from 1,200 

feet above the surface is necessary to 

accommodate vectoring IFR aircraft 

departing Grand Junction Regional 

Airport to en route airspace. This action 

also amends Class D and Class E 

airspace to update the airport name 

from Grand Junction, Walker Field, to 

Grand Junction Regional Airport, Grand 

Junction, CO. 

The FAA has determined 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 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 

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 creates 

additional controlled airspace at Grand 

Junction Regional Airport, Grand 

Junction, CO.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On July 13, 2011, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to amend 

controlled airspace at Glendive, MT (76 

FR 41145). 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 that Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

modifying Class E airspace, extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface, 

at Dawson Community Airport, to 

accommodate IFR aircraft executing 

RNAV (GPS) standard instrument 

approach procedures at the airport. This 

action is necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations. Except 

for an editorial change in the airspace 

designation from [Modify] to [Modified], 

this rule is the same as that published 

in the notice of proposed rulemaking 

July 13, 2011. 

The FAA has determined this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are
