The Proposal 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 

CFR), Part 71 by adding additional 

controlled Class D and Class E airspace 

for SIAPs operations at Forbes Field 

Airport, Topeka, KS, and incorporating 

the Class E extensions into the Class D 

surface area. 

Class D airspace designations are 

published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA 

Order 7400.9S, dated October 3, 2008, 

and effective October 31, 2008, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. Class E airspace designated as 

surface areas is published in Paragraph 

6002 of FAA Order 7400.9S, dated 

October 3, 2008, and effective October 

31, 2008, which is incorporated by 

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. Class E 

airspace designated as extensions to a 

Class D surface area is published in 

Paragraph 6004 of FAA Order 7400.9S, 

dated October 3, 2008, and effective 

October 31, 2008, which is incorporated 

by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet or more above the surface of the 

earth is published in Paragraph 6005 of 

FAA Order 7400.9S, dated October 3, 

2008, and effective October 31, 2008, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class D and Class E 

airspace designations listed in this 

document would be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

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. 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 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 would add 

additional controlled airspace at Forbes 

Field Airport, Topeka, KS.
